Strange thing but interesting.



Almost bought that 6 months ago for the wife.   Didn't actually see it up close.  :undecided:

Does anybody know what the front suspension consists of? Looks interesting, but the "Model T" Grille doesnt really match the bike...IMHO  it needs a nose with some ItalianCruiser Flair, something a bit more rounded, aerodynamic.

I like the concept, just not the execution.

Something about 400 pounds lighter.

The front end is 1/2 of a quad.  :smiley:  I wonder how it steers. An old guy had it for parades and I ? what it's like at speeds.   Wouldn't touch it w/o riding it first.

Yep, Thats it!  Thats what that trike reminds me of....needs the matching "continental kit" for the rear end! Or at least a set of round top  DB bags with the huge trim rails that go around them  :grin:

That thing seems to pop up on Craigslist every year or so. Maybe people buy it cause they think its unique and then reality hits them 2 months later.
