Guzilla

Ran across this  when I was looking at options for turning the Titanium into a side car rig.

Top notch fiberglass work indeed. Aerodynamics seem to be well thought out.

Well, aside from the styling (chaque a son gout, and my gout goes elsewhere), I am looking at that front tire and thinking "the bars are that wide for a reason..."

That big tire is on the rear.  Can't really see how wide the front one is.

From the article:
Quote
Michael Schepsky’s creation will divide the Guzzi crowd in two. One group will turn away disgusted prefering the traditional Guzzi style, while the other will confess that they are Guzilla fans.

I'm in the group "turn away disgusted"
