"Indian Army Captures Odd Record"

Stunts like this was big , up to the late 50ies. Mostly police units.
Then, for some reason, it mostly went away...

My first scoot was a 1948 HD, with tank-shift, and throttle on the left..
Left hand throttle meant ex-cop-cycle. And, it weighted in at 1,100 lbs..
That was a big-boys-toy... And, no, it didn't have reverse, so no side
hack...


My first motorscooter was a used Doodlebug motor scooter my dad bought for me in 1949. I have owned other motor scooters too and a few mopeds. www.cushmanscooters2.com Grainger Industrial Supply sells three wheel Cushman scooters, for warehouses/airports/whatever. www.mikeybike.com


Earth view/street view in Asia, you can see billions of people and whole families riding motor scooters and motor bikes too. I once read that the usual largest motor bike engines size in Asia are 250 cc engines. Look around online, you can find all kinds of weird two wheelers and also three wheelers. In Vietnam I bought a used French Solex moped. The frame cracked, I took it to Motor Pool and got it welded up, then I gave it to one of the Vietnamese women who did our laundry. She didn't keep it long, she sold it. There used to be a Solex assembly plant in Vietnam. There is a guy in France who repairs and buys and sells old Solex mopeds.
