Post by: JJ on June 04, 2017, 09:09:04 AM
Saw this in Jerome yesterday afternoon...the Thoroughbred "STALLION!" 

Powered by a 2.3 liter, 143 HP Ford 4-cylinder.  Kinda cool!!  :thumb: :1: :cool:

Saw one once, sounded lame and did not impress when it launched. Plus it's U G L Y.  I am not really impressed with the 2 upfront units. Give me an old side hack.

I have posted a few of these photo before...this is my idea of a sidecar..."European-style" and made to run on the Autobahn and handle like a slot car!!  :thumb: :1: :cool:

Watch this and tell me that the single wheel should be at the other end

Looks better than the Relaint though  :thumb:

I once drove a Lehman trike (GoldWing) and on a 40 mph sharp turn...it felt like it was going over!! :rolleyes: :shocked: :huh:  I did not like that feeling at all!!  Two wheels in the front is the way to go for sure...

Looks like 2/3 of a BMW Z-3. Ironically, it also looks like it would be exceptionally challenging for a person of diminished physical abilities to operate.

The engine though, along with a Toyota 22R and a couple-few others, the 2.3 Ford is one of my all time favorites. Got one going into 1962/3 MGB as we speak.

I think set up properly (aka "European-style")...a Guzzi with a cool sidecar in one's older years might be fun.  :wink:

A few more examples  :cool: :1: :thumb:
