This '85 Honda ATC 250ES Big Red was sold new in Findlay, Ohio, to its first owner, who reportedly intended to use it to pull a drag race car, but never used it, and sold it to a museum owner, who just sold it on BAT for 47k

in season 2 of One Piece... one of the new characters rides a 3 wheeler, just like those Hondas in the 80s, but bigger

 

How about this odd three wheeler in the Bronx?

The Bronx area, was named after the river, that was re-named for the Swedish settler that made a 500 acre farm there in 1639, Jonas Bronck

The Aquahung River, which bordered Bronck’s property, was renamed "Bronck's River" by the Dutch and English.

the Barris Sidewinder... has tires on it from a DC 6!

the brakes are twin Hurst/AirHeart discs

and it's getting auctioned https://silodrome.com/george-barris-v8-sidewinder/

So I'm guessing that the tires on the Tastee Big T were also DC 6 or aircraft tires, I found this in the LA Roadsters parking lot in 2010

imagine being 5 or 6 and getting one of THESE wheeled gadgets: The Krazy Kar by Marx toys

This is what you get when you want your kids to BURN OFF that endless energy!

 from That 70s Page on Facebook 

the 1968 Krazy Kar by Marx was all about arm power and was the ultimate way for kids to whirl and twirl their way to dizzyness. Get a helmet on them, and get out of the way... make the garage safe, and close the door so they can't do something stupid on the streets or sidewalks... or, better yet, take them to an empty basketball court, or tennis court

what an adrenaline rush!

one of those many 1970s things that rewarded anyone interested in goofy things, for just looking around for 6 wheelers, choppers, trikes, etc

how about a hubless tractor tire that has a seat inside, pushed by a BMW engine driving a Humvee rear axle... basically a motor monster trike

Sabine Weiss — Le triporteur, rue de la Paix, Paris, 1957

Must be great to have mountains in the area that you can race down in the summer or winter!

for a good old fashioned simple weekend afternoon movie, with no new cars, just pre 1964 vehicles, with Rock Hudson directed by Howard Hawks, on Amazon Prime Video

a 1958 Chevy Delray

1959 Ford F100

I sure didn't expect to see an NSU Prinz in a Hollywood movie

the character Rock Hudson is playing works for Abercrombie and Fitch, back when it was a sporting goods store, and maybe it was paid product placement, but the 63 Jeep Wagoneer was a good choice

His character is required to enter a fishing tournament, and to use everything in the store. 

nice little Honda 105 on the back

Fully loaded with all the neat camping stuff that 1963 could supply, all the classic good stuff

the AFC on the door is for Abercrombie and Fitch Company

the previous Honda 105, and a Honda Monkey
