  • 1926 Monotrace Torpedo

    Behold this French-built 1926 Monotrace Torpedo, built in France. Spotted at the recent Ironstone Concours in San Francisco. Yes, it runs but I have no data about the motor.

      Looks like something a couple 10 years old with a old bike and a lot of card board sheets could make .

        The maker considered it to be a car, not a bike.

          I can see it with a blown hemi, a big stickshift sticking out of the side, and a big hairy green thing driving it! Okay back on my meds now...

            I can see it as a prehistoric cycle with shielding around it to keep ankle biters at bay .

                  3 wheel cars have an interesting history - in the UK they tax motorcycles far less than cars, and motorcycle is defined as "anything with less than 4 wheels".... I don't get the appeal, but who am I to judge?
