Could take it in your pocket. There's a whole bunch of Monkey bikes that regularly turn up at my local bike meet, (Alton railway station cafe, Wednesday evenings). Several at the Poole harbour meet last night too.

Aparrently it's called a shortster!!!! :D


No Kidding!! It dates from 73-75. And was built by aeromacchi of Italy when they owned Harley from between 60-81.

Bloody nightmare for spares :'(

Always curious what they're like to ride. Several specialist Monkey bike shops about now.

Are there any of these Harleys at you local bike meet?

Post by: Manky Monkey on June 07, 2006, 10:32:06 PM

Have a look at monkey bikes on ebay. Its surprising what you can fit on them, even a turbo.

Post by: Manky Monkey on June 07, 2006, 11:04:22 PM
Or nitrous!


Title: Re: Mad!!!
Post by: ByzMax on June 07, 2006, 11:09:30 PM
My god,

What will they think of next?

Bet you have to change the engine every time you use the Nitrous.

nitrous does not blow motors....

poorly made kits and badly prepped motors do though.... ;)

Well any bike I owned would be a Monkey's bike wouldn't it? That tip about deleting the site from your favourites list, finding it again, logging in then saving it to favourites seems to be working.
