Motorcycle teardrop

On Ebay and it looks to be in decent shape.

From a brief look, I don't think it has any suspension. It looks as though that (aluminium?) strap running over the fender is what is supporting the outboard end of the wheel spindle. I'm not that sure what keeps the wheel pointing forward as there seem to only be those four washer-ed bolt heads on the inside. A bit scary.

You are right Andrew. I never noticed it until you pointed it out. It almost looks as though it has a fabric roof...hard to tell.

that fender style is reminiscent of early 1950s bicycles. I think there's actually an axle under there, though.

The interior looks like lightweight ply. Talk about zero frills!!

And a cloth top. Like the early days of building airplanes. I'll bet that thing doesn't weigh 200 lbs. And could be cleaned up real nice inside.

Have a good day.

Hmmm. Painted canvas?

Almost looks like heavy silver tarp, eh?
