However, the money they had made from their TV series and album sales was poorly handled,
so Jones and Tork ended up deep in debt.
Tork's founder Kapil Shelke says that they are
putting up a battery in the motorcycle which assures a running life of 100,000 km, enough for a five to six-year run.
Mike Nesmith composed and produced some of The Monkees music from the outset,
and Peter Tork played guitar on the Nesmith-produced material,
but initially that was the only input the four were allowed in the recording studio.
