No, I don't.

Front wheel drive.
Uninspiring motor fer-lookin'thru.
Front steer.

I guess I'd rather have a ratty Miata. Get a trunk, top doors and A/C if I'm feeling that way.

Post by: roadscum on July 31, 2017, 07:21:21 PM: There was a Vanderhall at AIMExpo last year, it's a beautiful thing. Handcrafter with a quality leather work on the interior that rivals the best of lux. cars. :thumb:

Much nicer then an old or even new Miata, not even in the same galaxy. :violent1:

Yeah, that butterscotch thing in the background. It looks like it's dragging when it's stopped. I'd hate to try riding it the way I ride. :bike-037: :shocked:

Post by: ken farr on August 01, 2017, 11:23:20 AM: Saw one of those prowling around town a while back.
Had a real nice sound.
Kept saying the name, so I wouldn't forget by the time I walked home.
Googled, nice machine, but maybe too $$$$ to keep my interest.

I think the guy's missing it are all the inventors since the 40's who all think this is a good idea. Good on 'em for trying but the reality is I don't think it's gonna catch on any time soon. Viable kit maybe but limited interest. 30 large, a Cobra kit looks pretty good.

Post by: Sasquatch Jim on August 01, 2017, 02:08:19 PM: Bbbut you already have a hacked motorcycle.
BTW, I am going to build a hack for my Van Van too.

Post by: Tom on August 01, 2017, 02:18:07 PM: :thumb: I was looking at a Royal Enfield w/chair for Mauri and GianThomas to play with. Less power and more manageable for them to learn on. Good luck with the Van Van.
