You are so right. Newcombs was busy but the Crest highway was very open. Great day!!  | ||

I always loved Newcomb's Ranch! And Hwy 2! When my friends and I rode route 66 from Springfield Illinois to the Pacific we made a little detour to get out of the heat by jumping on 2 and riding it back down to 66. It was 60 degrees up there and over 100 in the desert! | ||

I gotta ask- where in Hades do you find some/most of your images?!? Although that's a typical Beemer opposed twin, I don't think that's a Beemer... Always good stuff though, keep it up!  | ||

Perfect riding days around here lately, I've just not had a day off... until tomorrow! Gotta meet a guy on the other side of Knoxvegas to buy a stereo receiver... I've pretty much figured out a primo route to get there. My beloved R75/7 is calling me from the shed... Let's ROLL!!! | ||

Squids; that's a Zundap. | ||

Thanks for that, I could't figure out WTF that was. | ||
| Tootal |

Took advantage of a weather anomaly and rode the Uly in a t-shurt, 78dF in Colorado at the end of November. Nuckinfuts but I'll take it. Got some pix but can't find my phone. Z | ||

It is a Messerchmitt . . . . But . . it's quite similar to a BMW | ||

Since the Messerschmitt Kabinenroller used an airplane canopy it reminded me of the bulbulous windshield on the picture above. I'm quite familiar with the BMW Isetta since recently I got a 300, like the one in your picture, to run after years of sitting. I also got it's big brother, a 600 limo, to run also. They were used in a wedding procession of a friend of mine. Thanks for the Messerschmitt video! I've always loved those things. I wanted to put a BMW 750 3 cylinder in one of them or even the Isetta!

Theres an Isetta Limo!? {off to Google images} | ||
| Shoggin |
 It's either smirking because it just sniffed you butt or banged your sister, but either way you're gonna forgive that cute little bastard. | ||

 The single cylinder Isetta.  The opposed twin 600 limo.  A 700 with another opposed twin in the trunk. There were 3 of them. Cute little things but my knees hit the dash and I couldn't get to the gas pedal! | ||

>>>>I wanted to put a BMW 750 3 cylinder in one There is a video somewhere of one that used a Hayabusa motor . . . . | ||

Straying off topic but check this Honda 600 out. Belongs to a friend of a friend. The road is in the Angeles Nat Forrest. skip to 48 seconds. (Message edited by teeps on November 28, 2017) | ||

Ha! Don't worry about being off topic, I think I shanghai'd it a while back!! Great video and great noise! Court, I wanted to go faster, not kill myself!!  | ||

OK, THAT was super cool! 5+ years to build, wonder what the $$$ was? As far as having no reverse, wonder why they haven't rigged an electric motor for that? Thanks for posting- BTW, Teeps, you haven't ridden in that thing, have ya? | ||

Back OT: I managed to take a 60-65 mile ride out yesterday... kinda brisk at low 50 temps, but very enjoyable anyway. Hadn't been on some of the more fun south Knox backroads in a while. | ||
| Ourdee |
I got out for 180 miles yesterday. After Georgia and Tennessee the Indiana roads were boring. | ||
| 86129squids |
Yeah, true, dat. | ||
