I worked for a guy who restored one.  And you guys do know they came in two models, a 2 wheeler and a 3 wheeler.

I thought I remembered the two wheel version from the old days, but all I ever see at swap meets and shows are the three wheel versions.

Well I have never seen a 2 wheel one, maybe a "WORKS" model   ???

One time a buddy and I stopped at the Honda dealer. They showed us a scooter, I think about 150 or 200cc. It had 2 wheels up front, I think it turned by leaning like the Kick-n-Go. I think they said they were not sure if they could sell them, as they were waiting on DOT or Transport Canada approval.

Anyway, that never happened & all were pulled off the foor.. be cool to have one, cant remember the name of it.. ???

In 1977 my father bought me a brand new XL75 and to placate my younger brother who would of been 7-8 yrs. old he bought him a blue 2 wheeled Kick-N-Go. Now, I definitely remember my XL75 costing $600.00 and I wanna say his Kick-N-Go was $32.00. I'm not 100% sure of that though, and that would be a lot of dollars in 1977. :o

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

 I'm new here and saw a mention of the Kick and Go and figured I'd post mine.
