Ponce's Bi-Car from 1970

[Ponce]

This is a picture of the Bi-Car that the guy shown in the picture and I made back in 1970...the female "model" shown in the back seat was my beutifull wife.....she was the one to find this picture and send it to me. At 25 mph the "trainning" wheels would retract...with a Kawasaky 500 and a speed of over 200 mph.....me? only 50 mph.
================================================== ========

Bell Vehicles said they were serious about entering production with their Bi-Car, a semi-enclosed sit-down motorcycle with retractable landing gear. Anybody know whether they actually did?

A three wheeler fully incloused proto was going to be our next project.

Entry and egress appears to be difficult.

As does changing a tire.

Even now I am happy just thinking about her.....what she had outside in beauty she also had it in in the inside in beauty and intelligence...yep I was one lucky Cuban.

When she first saw me she thought that I was a fag because of my sport car and how well I was dressed hahaahahah, I had a 1970 Thriunf GT-6....that's the one that looks like a mini long hood Jaguar......as soon as I saw her I knew that she was going to be my wife, I was 30 and she 19.....perfect ages hahahahahaah.....Ponce <-----dirty old man

Aww Ponce, Nice ...and I am sure she put up with alot of your Cuban (BUll S&*)( how lucky are you that she still loves you and sent you the picture,) Old and set in his ways? My husband was 36 when I met him and I was 22, he thought I was to young ,the perfect match only comes around 1 once time in our lifetime.

those are hugs and kisses lol


What was her name?

[Ponce]

Judy.....but.....how about my dad?.....second time for him she was 22 and he 48 and they had four kids.....more smart than anyone I have ever known (Georgia Tech) a mechanical engineer and a electric engineer...... his last book was published when he was 84 and he die in 2010 at the age of 98.........for algebra he was my teacher and when I came to the states the algebra teacher would write five problems on the blk board and by the time he would put the chalk down I would give him the aswers hahahaahhaah.......everthing else I was an F student....to me school was a waste of time because I knew that everything that I was tought I would never use, even as a mental exercise it was a waste of time.

By the way, his second wife lived across the street from us and I used to play house with her hahahahahahaahahah...she is one year older than me........about algebra, I never wrote anything down but the answers would simply fly into my mind, and don't asked me how because I don't know.
