Hello Marvin...I hope like heck that someone put's the kybo***o the Alco's return! That is if history is any indication, and there is the remotest chance that it may repeat itself any-time soon. Riding on and using the Alco's was always a nerve racking experience. One remembers the sounds one heard while running along...who dumped all the pot's and pan's in the back and let them crash around. It used to illicit huge amount's of laughter for us. <br />I hope that if they do return, at least they will have the foresight to make them 2-Stroke's instead of the old 4-Stroke's, that very rarely made a one way trip without brakeing down. I hope you'll excuse my negativity, but nostalgia and interesting look's certainly are'nt enough for a come-back unless they have seriously altered the dynamic's of design and operation...Hommie
