Ever see one of these? Probably one of a kind. Looks fast! I'd like to see how they got in it! PJ
 
Thanks Paul... I did read about the "Red Bullet" a few years ago. Quite advanced for the time it was introduced. If I remember correctly, they were attempting a speed record for the scooter category in it. He reached about 125mph in it.

I would say that was pretty quick for a scooter. Quite a nice design by todays standards let alone back then. :encouragement:
 
The only similarities between that one and my Lambretta is that they are both red :jester:
 
As you guys know, "pit bikes" are a popular accessory at the races.

And old scooters or Cushman bikes seem to be de rigueur

I saw these bikes at Thompson or the PVGP

I spent over 2 years in GITMO while in the Navy and one of these was my transportation the whole time. It never failed to start! Great little scooter!:encouragement: PJ
