Admin Jaap Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 It looks military, some kind of foldable paratrooper bike? For pulling a light (machine)gun maybe? Link to comment
callison Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Self-powered outboard sidecar by Harley Davidson with PTO for threshing machine and compressor for jack hammer? Link to comment
mike wilson Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Jaap is almost certainly right. The UK one, the Wellbike, was 98cc. Never seen one with double wheels. Time to waste time. Link to comment

badmotogoozer Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 How did I not see this earlier?? Aermoto made by Piaggio. 120 (125) cc (conflicting info...) 1940's Italian paratrooper motorcycle. Didn't work worth a noodle. Rj ** Sorry - that should be manuf - Volugrafo. Later inspired Piaggio's scooters. Link to comment

dhansen Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Damn, GOODmotogoozer! Not exactly a pro-western website but there is some good stuff there. www.autogallery.org.ru argh, I bet youre right somehow, and I don't get how I don't ever get these, I spend far too much time looking, I've overextended the capabilities of google, yahoo, and altavista and yet I can't find jack Don't feel bad Ben. You aren't the only one out here with his eyeballs stuck to the monitor. This is the modern equivalent of the needle in the haystack. The question is, with the temperature at 7deg f this morning would I rather do this or go for a ride..................... OK, assuming the cylinder head is the reddish finned lump sitting up high in the middle of the frame, what is the other similar colored, finned part below it and to the right? (OK, actually to the left as the rider would see it). Link to comment
mike wilson Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Looks more like coiled tubing to me. Link to comment
badmotogoozer Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I only knew that one because one of the Mechanical students last year was copying that frame in the machine shop. Seems his grandfather brought one home from the war. Had to Google the engine size and manufacturer tho'. Rj Link to comment
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm back again. Stuck in a lgging camp again but out for a few days to get some maintenance done on the helicopter. The Aermoto was built by Societa Volugrafo of Turin. It was a 125cc by the information I have and was deemed quite useless except on paved roads. Most were simply abandoned after they were dropped from the airplanes. Piaggio did make a helicopter once that could be a match for the Aermoto!!! Link to comment

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Is that a really big rubber band on the back? Rj No! It's some kind of stretchy pasta they came up with that no one could eat!! Link to comment
