What could possibly go wrong?

You will be first at the scene of your accident anyway.

Talk about "loud pipes save lives"!

That's not even close to the worst engineered trike that been posted here.

And at least there isn't room to bring a passenger along to kill with you.

This is a wheelie bar?

... and right after your slight error in judgement, you have 800 lbs. of hot small block squishing you into the wall/truck/woods.

Call me a moron, but that's the first trike I've seen that I would actually consider riding. You don't have to use all the power it has, you know...

No, that's a bumper. Cantya tell?

Also, I still haven't figured out which part of the vehicle the Harley cover plate is mounted on.

Dear Lord baby Jesus

I'm pretty sure that's the top of the fork.

canoe.

Disguised as a motor vehicle.

I think the exhaust blowing near the gas tank is a nice touch.

Wonder how well it turns ? If at all.

My buddy has a '23 T-bucket with a tunnel ram 350. He originally had a 4 speed, but couldn't keep the wheels on the ground, so he swapped to an auto. Looking at this trike, I think it would be more stable (at least in a straight line) than his T. My worry would be pulling a wheelie, because whoever is riding it would feel the full effect of the landing!

Who said crystal meth and in-breading were a bad thing?

Huh! I thought the wheelies fell off. Oh my!

I seriously doubt that front end would survive coming down off of too many wheelies. I've seen weirder trikes.

I wouldn't call it poorly engineered. Questionable judgement maybe. Looking at a full side view, it looks like 3/4 of the engine is within the front half. Add in driver weight and that thing looks rather front heavy. I hope that helps keep the front down, because the landing won't be pretty.

But it does have me wondering about making a street legal rail drag car.

I think it's a better concept than this, although I do have to wonder if it can turn with a limited slip rearend and those big meats:

This was my first thought as well:

what i would do with it is chop the front end off and put a beetle torsion front suspension on it could atleast handle. you would still probably die in it but atleast you could steer it a little...

...so you'd at least have slightly more choice of which tree you'll be hitting.

That thing is terrifying.
