        You know Roger, I have met ALOT of folks from Ky, my mother and her family being some of them.

        My opinion would be if that was built in Ky, it was made from the left over parts when they finished making their house. The seats form the escort make a better couch than that MC seat you know. Nut the MC engine will do a fine job of modernizing their well pump. Heck, where do you think I learned to be such a cheapazz??

          At least the color scheme was appropriate for rednecks...

            I've seen something similar running around here, only it has a Pontiac Fiero rear and a Kawasaki front end.

            This one does look better, but like Incubus,

                frame has Yamaha style swingarm pivots etc but to me the wheel looks to have X-section spokes rather than the Yamaha H-section and that front brake looks "other".
                yeah... the wheels struck me as something different than XS, as well as the side covers... I'd seen the wheels before but couldn't remember where... I was thinking Suzuki, but the better half thought maybe KZ... and after looking at a couple on Ebay... I think he might be correct...

                Still kinda on the cool side... but sure looks odd without the cycle engine...

                  DGXSER,

                  I've heard most of the Kentucky jokes. My best friend went to a semiary college in Louisville. He passed most of them along to me. My favorite was after an especially hard snow and windstorm he called to tell me that the Governors house got knocked off it's jacks.

                  Kat,

                  Maybe on warmer days the cooler goes where the mc engine used to be??

                    Living at the river crossing between states we have ALOT of them.

                    For instance, there is a bridge on I-75 called the Brent Spence. They built it stacked, as in the lanes going into Kentucky are directly over top of the lanes coming out of Kentucky into Ohio. The joke is that they built it like that so the folks driving into Ky can throw their shoes down to the folks driving out.

                        Interesting concept

                        I like it! Good power, great fuel capacity and mileage, think diesel, enough electrical capacity for a real fridge, no more beer coolers, snow tires for the winter and you could substitute teardrop trailer for that flatbed trailer and tour in style. All joking aside I like the idea " Hey honey can I borrow your Volvo tomorrow".
