Hi, Mark and hi to all. Sorry for the delay in answering everyone. My docs made me stay in the MS wing for a while (GRRRRR) best place - a hospital to get sick. But happily I'm out and all of you inspired me to get my old scooter working again - so I can use Scooter 1, dead for 5 o6 year, the better one, to take apart and with luck, make it look like a Vespa (for adults that are just sick and tired of going 2 miles an hour and feeling humiliated (after all, I rebuilt my 1965 Mustang -what a knock out, and now I ride this horror what it can't take a crack in the sidewalk and almost kills my dog and me. NO! Time to fix that. Mark, That bike is so beautiful and orange make me happy as a clam. If I didn't could stay on it, well,, I'm pretending I can - that is why the adult version faux Vespa will have two wide back wheels - WIDE.. I'm not a mechanic; I'll get help from friends that are mechanics and engineer. I design products, but I'm lucky I still realize what's wrong & needs changing. Almost everything ADA needs a huge upgrade. I found more pix of the trike. I'm recently started doing auctions , and because you all like the trike and I need to get a bunch that are OK, sturdy, even new to start & easily adapt for the kids (just at an MS Walk and It broke my heart - regardless of how my dogs we all brought dressed up). There's a well=established auction house (I've bought things for 5 cents to 1$ forever and luckily they worth money now) I think the guy who owns the House - the house is Morphy hovers. I sort of know him, but he would never know I had the trike unless he saw it here, it's the only place it's ever been posted. He called to discuss pricing and buying it. I would have loved to have sold it to him, but it's already in the catalog (thank you all, I appreciate that you understood that what I hope to do is more important that a trike, but I hope if you are interested in selling anything great - and be careful - stay on (I didn't) until he gives you a number, so I'm guessing
- but I did find more pix of the one my grandfather gave my sister, I am going to sell it; spoke to old friend in the art/design world and Mr. Morphy - a huge auction house called Morphy's either comes to this site or hovers....so here's the info to check him out.

And lastly, a few ,ore pick of my trike (it is missing one hubcap - thanks for noticing and the horn was an extra, but from the catalog, but sister has told me that).Grateful to everyone! And if anyone can guess at the value, since now I Know it has to be higher that I had thought; Mr.Morphy pays high as he always has a client for it. Good look - everyone can make money on lots of collections - and may scrub thing (we don't want him to know I wrote this....) Best - Babette
