This is a great bike in design for it's time, and a great bike to drive.
I own possibly the best unrestored 1924 monotrace in the world (i believe only 7 are known to have survived) and mine is complete with canvas drop top roof.
It take more courage than skill to drive, and it is important to accelerate throught the turns, rather than coast the bike.
The bike is more stable when the throttle it on when leaned over.
Of the 20 bikes I have, the monotrace is my favorite
