I came across a Citroën Méhari in the city. This strange bird was made between 1968 and 1988. When I was a kid I saw them in Southern France, Spain, and in Tunisia when we were vacationing there. They also made them in Argentia for a while. They were used as hotel shuttles, taxis, recreational/beach vehicles, etc. I even saw Police versions.. Some had 4WD. The name Citroën Méhari is the North African word for dromedary. The vehicle is based on the 2CV and shares the ca 600 cc two-cylinder 2-stroke engine. The vehicle weighs less than 12,00 pounds. The body is made from plastic, not fiberglass! That's only the third Méhari I have seen in this country.,

North of Bodega Bay




Goat Rock Beach


An arch rock can be seen near the top right corner. This rock and the beach are seen in the final scenes of The Goonies when the pirate ship sets sail.

With my neighbor on his '22 BMW S1000XR and me on my '22 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak, we went for a ~200 mile ride today, staying on the west side of the Cascades, mostly on two-lane backroads.

We stopped at a Mickey D's for a biology break, and met a 30-something dude who had stopped there, too. Turns out this guy was from the East Coast, and was finishing a cross-country trip on this vintage Honda (I didn't ask, but I think it's a 80s/early 90s XR600R
<?>):

I asked him if he had any issues come up during the trip. Other than an over-heated battery issue, which meant he had to use the kickstarter, he typically put in 8-10 hrs./day.

So that's what we saw riding around the PNW today!

The rear wheels are similar to those used on some Eclats. Could also be from whatever vehicle that Lotus borrowed from.

The front wheels have a unique design, but I can’t place them.

Whatever it is, the owner needs a new cover for it!
