Modern Vespa

Hi all.

I'm on hols in Europe at the moment. We visited the Motorrad Museum in Berlin:

What a fantastic museum! It specialises in East German bikes, and I found many I hadn't heard of, let alone seen. Yeah, OK, I know I live on the other side of the world.

But, the piece de resistance has to be the camper version of the IWL scooter (it's got 3 wheels):








Things to note:

It's a 250
The HUGE trailer has a leather suitcase strapped to the top
There's a dicky seat in front of the rider for the kid
You could hide an elephant behind the screen
The trailer hitch is an industrial version
It's in pristine condition
It's got a spare wheel too

There were lots of other scooters, trail bikes, road bikes, and mopeds, and there were quite a few sidecars too. I guess before the wall came down it was really hard to get a car, so bikes were it!


Next time you're in Berlin - don't miss it

This is awesome looking, just unreal. An enterprising person put this together. WOW!

I love the time & effort spent on the props

Very interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a motorcycle trailer with a single wheel...

Search for Larry's purchase of a Uni-Go Trailer.

I'll do that. Thanks.

The Uni-Go trailers are very well thought of and quite pricey. 60 years ago my Uncle Roy had a 1 wheel trailer he pulled behind his car. I've seen it in family 16 mm films but it's been too long for me to remember much detail. I do remember every time we watched it cousin Mel would comment how well it worked.

Your Uncle Roy may have had one of these: http://www.singlewheel.com/
My Uncle Roy was an arse....

Thanks for the links LL75. None of them really matched my possibly faulty memory although a few were close and may have been what my uncle had. I guess I had better luck than you in the uncle Roy department; he was one of my favorite relatives.
