Jump a penny farthing ??? 
I never got the nerve to ride mine !! sold it !
Because the rider sat so high above the center of gravity, if the front wheel was stopped by a stone or rut in the road, or the sudden emergence of a dog, the entire apparatus rotated forward on its front axle, and the rider, with his legs trapped under the handlebars, was dropped unceremoniously on his head. Thus the term "taking a header" came into being.

Thanks, One day soon I hope it will all be RED. I thought that after an old fart like me posted that at least JULIE would post her picture.
Just to give you an idea of what keeps me busy.

My great grandfathers 49. Only took me 29 years to get here. Bone stock and if I could quit driving it around I could finish those details.
