Yeah, same for me with the ice cream cart. At least that wasn't very expensive.

Hi

Well the new one is the red and the old one was that fabulous purple. I guess if you have second thoughts about how much you spent you could re-sell it and use the money to buy a few of the new ones. I am glad it is coming out again as I need some of those monkey bars for other bikes we have . I also do not think it will devalue the older one in the long run.

I love this vehicle! Was very lucky to be sent the original one by a very kind member of the forum a couple of years ago.  :love:

The red is nice too, but I think I will always prefer the purple version. It just looks more retro to me.

I'm happy it's coming back.  It's also in a different colour so you can tell the original version from the other. 

I had such hopes when that and the "chopper" came out that they would expand this concept.  I never did like the fact they riders were portrayed as hippies, though.  I've never, in all my two decades of riding Harley's and choppers ever met any hippies who were on bikes - nor did I ever meet any bikers - who were bikers in the 60s and 70s - who would have been very tolerant of hippies riding - even if they did have a VW trike (that's what it is, the trike has a volkswagen engine in the trike body).  They are registered as motorcyles so they do not have to have seat belts.  You could register them as cars but then you'd have to follow the regulations for cars. 

I am really excited about the other motorcycles they are making now too (and the chopper they are rereleasing too)!  I would need a few of each to be able to mix and match the parts I would want to to make a bunch of new bikes. 

Hmm - maybe that's they are doing this, so we will buy more...  At least it does give some neat swop and mix options for kids (of all ages).  I will definitely be doing some custom painting of bike parts and kit bashing.  (I can just see the dollar bills with wings attached now ...)

I don’t like the trike. No trailer hitch. (Mind, I do have one, I just don’t much like it.)

No trailer hitch.

Hi

That would be interesting  :eh?: We see bikes w/trailers once in a while. I think the trailer that goes to the minivan is too big and I can not think of a smaller one that would work for a custom.
