I just thought it would be harder than heck to steer! Handlebars are widely spaced, and it seems a steering wheel would be very difficult to control. Add to the fact that you'd have to take one hand completely off the wheel to apply the brake (?#@!), whereas on a regular bike you would have a pedal actuated brake, or a handbrake on the handlebar, so you would always have both hands on the handlebar.
Wow, this one looks like it took some kahunas to ride. But in all honesty, with a gearshift on the center bar, an automotive-like steering wheel, maybe a pair of redline tires, perhaps the rear tire being a pie-crust sidewall slick, this would have been the envy of the neighborhood.

Interesting to note not a single Pontiac w Rally Wheels...all appear to be hubcap equipped. Wonder how many "HO Motors" are in this one? Also noted the damage progresses to more severe the farther left (front of train?) in the image. IIRC: ALL of these vehicles would have been written off as totaled loss by GM and rail line. Yes? |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
