Â*Â* I remember my dad shaking his head at the first version of those
bugs passing us.
Forty horsepower is all they had if I remember correctly.

I rode in some of the old ones and had to drive one once and did not
feel comfortable with practically nothing between me and the road. Nice
thing about them was cost less than $1,000 and friend that had one could
replace the engine himself. Don't think a lift was even needed.
