After hearing this, I realized that I was looking at the prototype of the Whizzer Sportsman. Well, part of the prototype. Art said, “It had gone through many motors and various other parts since its birth.” Loved the Whizzers stories, wanted a space-car all of my own! I remember the Whizzers from their battles with the Ketts in the 1960s and the Kett Kadets led by Mr Zappa in the 1970s. Didn't like the space car as drawn in 1975. I have started collecting old Topper comics just for these stories. Ain't nostalgia great?

All abilities, genders, and adults over 18 are invited to take a shot at ‘Try a Shoot,’ while those aged 10-18 are very welcome with adult accompaniment.At about the same time, in 1946 or ’47, ads began to appear in Popular Mechanics and other magazines that turned me into one great quivering lump of WANT! Even though I loved my Monarch, I was crazy for speed and anything motorized and was sure that the one and only thing necessary to make my bike perfect was a Whizzer engine to lessen the wear and tear on my legs while pedaling around the hills of western Pennsylvania.

Airpower Journal. 16, no. 1: 28. Al said, ‘You know, I could rebuild your engine’, so I asked what that would cost. It took him some time to respond, and he finally said, ‘by the time you ship it down here you’d be better off if I sold you one of my rebuilt engines’. The cost wasn’t exorbitant, and I’d looked at getting the tools to rebuild my own and everything, but I figured this rebuilt H-model engine with a full guarantee was a no brainer. I’ve always been drawn to the oddballs of the motorcycle world, including Suzuki rotaries,” he says, and adds, “the Whizzer just intrigued me.”

Love it!! I was searching for a better solution than a jar for pee on the go with a toddler! I found Kiddiwhizz and I love it! I always take it with me when I'm out as you never know when your LO is going to ask for a weewee! We already used it in a park, cinema and a bus stop! Lifesaver! Several Whizzer engine models were made, including the H (1946-1948), J (1948-1949), 300 (1949-1952) and 700 (1952-1955). Each had its own improvements, but none of them progressed beyond the simple sidevalve layout. While the first engines made only 1-3/8 horsepower, the last models made close to 3 horsepower. It’s unknown exactly how many Whizzer engines were produced, but it’s suspected the number could be between 350,000 and 500,000. Production ceased in 1955-1956, but engine kits and parts were still being sold right into the 1960s. Ron has restored many cars, from Volkswagens to Messerschmitts, but since he was 10 years old there’s always been a motorcycle in his life.
