Spooky has its own forum, but its mostly a ghost town nowadays. They moved to Bisbee Az and still run a shop.Now another outfit has moved into Spooky's old headquarters in Tucson. I believe there's some animosity between the two. I've seen neither party on any forums.

Another Tucson sighting: Today at about 10am A white haired guy on a DIY bike, westbound on Fort Lowell Road at Mountain Ave. I pulled my truck over ahead of the guy and waved him over. He dissed me, waved back, kept going. A 3.5 hp 4 stroke was mounted up high in the frame. A yellow bag/basket with"007" on the front and a rack on the back. Maybe I'll post a dissertation about the social ramifications and personality types of the motorized biker with enlightenment for all, leading to worldwide peace, harmony, and understanding...Nahhhhh!

Tucson: A motorized bike was spotted going south on the northbound side of Euclid at Grant. A young dude wearing a green t-shirt riding a blue bike with a chinese 2 stroke. Risky behavior in rush hour traffic at 6:30 pm.

This morning at 6:15 a motorized bike was westbound on Prince Road between Fairview and Flowing Wells. A black cruiser type, no fenders? with a chinese two stroke was being ridden by a guy wearing a gray t-shirt.

as far as I know I'm the only one in my town but I think I sold my china bike so there should be one more around soon. I just can't ride more than one at a time.

In my town of Mid Mo. Approx 94000 Pop I have seen only one other MB and heard of two others, not including some electric motored bikes. Mine draws many inquirys as a result.

I hardly ever saw any until about 3 years ago, now I'm seeing one or two every day. This evening about 7:30 I saw one westbound on Wetmore Road in front of the Tucson Mall. It had a bright headlight and tail light. I could only tell it had a two stroke. I'm always looking for them nowadays.

I had a person tell me they saw "a bike just like yours" in beautiful downtown Ashtabula...yes, the same city where the famous forks and cranks were made!

It wasn't me.....

I saw a MB today between 1:30-2:30 going East on Ajo about a block West of Palo Verde. He had a black tank top with a black half moon helmet and a red MTB.

He was trying to cross Ajo to make a left turn onto Palo Verde. Unfortunately I was not on my MB I was in my truck going to the Habitat store.
