    Default 47 Servi Car - does anyone actually ride other than around block??????

    Hi again, is there any1 out there that has a Servi Car that ACTUALLY rides it & not just around the block but actually put some miles on it??? Are they safe/ok to ride?? Just wondering I don't just want to own to just ride around the block - I actually want to ride at least locally in the St Louis area. I don't see riding to Sturgis or anything that extreme, I don't have that much vaca time!! LOL! Thanks for reading & any comments/suggestions/opinions!!

    Have we seen this "Chicago police servi"??? Man... winter has gotta be fun!!!

    As for the initial question, I think if they rode them back in the day we surely can ride them now. Suitable roads may have to be chosen for the lower performers however... I do have a friend though that uses a servi on a regular basis and loves it. You can be cool at lower speeds too.....

    I have a friend who put many miles on his 1941 Servicar here in Colorado. We geared it the same as a solo 45, on the low end though. It would run 50-55 all day on the flats but struggled on the hills, needed to get a run at them! Twice, he rode it over Trail Ridge Road here, which is 12,000 + feet above sea level. So, yes, ride it!! Three wheel brakes work well, if set up properly!

    It took me a couple of looks...but I finally found the Servi-Car. The pictures appear to be taken at different times, the lower one doesn't have a windshield on it. Would be nice to see some front and side views.
