Before Princess Peach, there was the original damsel in distress- the lady Pauline. Donkey Kong had abducted her and Mario had to jump barrels in order to save her.
Obscure enough for ya?  |

F### if I know. Even the damned scooter's butt ugly. We can only hope it rolled through the fence behind it and into the drink |

| The scooter is called a ingo bike. Since the back wheel is concentric one propels the bike by bouncing up and down in rhythm with the rear wheel. |

This looks like the Mr. Potato Head of VW parts put together by a 4 year old! I just can't fathom someone put in the time and money to make that, and stood back when it was done and said, "perfect, just what I was going for"!

I think you mean it's "elliptic".

Yes, eccentric is the correct word, thanks. A round wheel with an off-center hub. And I look forward to becoming more eccentric as I grow older: rounder and more off-center.

Fenders look like generic trailer fenders....was looking at those when pondering a future project.....Was gonna graft a narrowed bus cab to an Empi sportster and stick a scooter on top, but decided against it....
