Hi Dick.
Great site! Yes, "Bob in Connecticut" had also informed me that I was
wrong-- that there really was a 3-wheeler Berk.
Wow-- and you HAD one? Man, the wife having it hauled-off by the junkman is
surely grounds for divorce, IMHO. If I had been the judge, she would still
be "breaking rocks" somewhere!
Isn't it wierd that several of us on this list like Berkeleys? -- I mean,
they were pretty rare, and never a part of the hot-rod scene.

Subject: RE: #34 Berkley
When I was young, I too lusted for either a Berk or a Crosley Hot Shot.
Years later, I finally came across a Berk and got it for free. It was a
three wheel T-60 model and was powered by a BSA 500cc motor. I'm not sure
it was the original motor, I think the original had been a smaller motor. I
tried to engineer everything I could come up with to try and turn it into a
four wheeler, but could never come up with anything that was going to work
right. I parked it behind the house when I went to Vietnam, and when I
came back, I found that my wonderful "X" had it trucked off as scrap. Check
out http://home.clara.net/peterfrost/berkeley.html for a lot of good info on
the Berks.
