Those are GREAT!! When I think of "vintage dirt"...I deffinatly think of these little 3-wheelers. I'm in the states now (from Hong Kong)...but if it wasn't for seeing these at the local "Motoworld" shop every once in awhile, I would have thought they were illegal as well. Used to see a lot of backflip (wheelies....bike fell back on 'em,etc) injuries from these when I was a kid. Most don't know that Hong Kong has a whole "countryside" called "New Territory...where there were trails to play with these. THAT was when "Honda Odyssey" meant FUN...and not a minivan!!

What is the little bike in the middle? It reminds me of my little Yamaha 60 "Mini Enduro" I had as a kid. You had to CARRY a spark plug socket and wire brush on that thing in a little toolbag.....because the 2-cycle oil would just suddenly foul the plug. GOOD TIMES!!!!
