I saw this on eBay. I totally forgot this. I was in third grade in 1963. I wore my first one out, and made my mother buy me another one. It bolts on to your frame just like a china girl. It runs on a battery, and all it does is make noise like a motorcycle. There's a lever to control the volume, that's your throttle. I loved this toy.

I think I've just figured out why I love china girl motor bicycles so much now. Before even starting school I was putting baloons in my spokes. I was born with the sickness.

Yeah- it probably sold for about $6.95 at the time- ya gotta love ebay for running up prices. I think people with stores of old stuff are the most guilty- take Zeus- which made a lot of Campy clone stuff in Spain. Back in the '70's Zeus was a definitely a second tier product- the crowd of racers and tourists might have used some Zeus part if Campy wasn't available, or because it was definitely cheaper-

you'd never know it now on ebay.
