You don't need rear view mirror if you're going faster than everyone else.

He was looking at something low and to the left to see if there was a break in the traffic.  I bet there's a mirror there somewhere.

Jay Leno has a feature on this trike on his videos. The guy is English and very rich, also eccentric and cool. Jay passed on driving it. It's done well and high dollar. There are actually 2 front tires on a single custom rim made out of a solid block of aluminum.

No trees were harmed by the conveyance of this message, but a lot of electrons were seriously disturbed.

They are all very BIG and Heavy motortrikes- I would hate to have to push that around a parking spot if even possible!

Something they should consider if they should want to downsize ........

Pretty cool bike - gotta be fun to drive - maybe just once and a bit more tamely.

Rear views are mounted on each side below the grips.

Yes, they sure are.  I thought I saw one before, but wasn't sure what I was seeing.  Now that you pointed them out, they're not so hard to see.   :grin:

I saw that thing on the web somewhere. Looks like a cleanly engineered but totally outrageous thingie. I'd ride, or drive or whatever one does with such a thing, it.
