They're hosted elsewhere (Photobucket, etc.). Yours are attachments hosted at the Jalopy Journal, and appear full size if you click on them, wait for them to appear, then click on them a second time.

I was going to ask the same question. I wonder what the motor is - looks odd with what appears to be two cylinders but only one exhaust. My kids found a modern version of it on you tube. Not sure what it is called now.

It is a one wheel motorcycle built by Italian M. Goventosa from Udine which is in Northeast Italy.

I think it is a single because if you look close there in only one lead from the mag. What looks like it maybe a second plug on the left I think is maybe a compression release for starting because I can see a lever a with a cable attached to it. The cable goes under the tank and heads back towards the steering wheel.
