Tricycle....OF DEATH!!

I love the carbonated steel, as folks have pointed out.

I did once get to ride a Briggs & Stratton equipped bar stool. It cured me of any misapprehension that I'd enjoy a vehicle which becomes terrifying at a walking pace...

In case anyone was thinking this might just be a photoshop, another picture has surfaced. I'm having really bad thoughts about building something like this now.

You should....you really, really should!

I found a running 85 Goldwing 1200 for $500...that might work eh?

Thanks, now I see them! But looking at that side view of it, it looks like your knees & elbows would be touching while tryng to ride it?

Brakes?

Bike lever connected to kart rear?

Besides, where we're going, we don't need brakes.

Yeah, and I'll bet when that baby hits 88 miles per hour, you'll see some serious E36 M3.

that is the tricycle of AWESOME!

Umm... Is there someplace to put your legs, or does the amount of pure awesome just rip them directly from your hips the moment you blip the throttle?

Duh...your legs go under the rear tires.

Not really, that's water cooled, shaft drive (ok maybe a plus), and huge. berkeley it...try.

I have a friend who's looking for a running Goldwing drivetrain for the back of his 360 van. Where's that located???

Mental wrote: You are all wrong. The tricycle of death showed up at the GRM $2KX ($2008?) Challenge more than a few years ago. A go cart engine, small off road tires and a 5 1/2 ft welded hoop sissy bar with a spike. The brake was a pull handle that forced a metal plate onto one of the rear tires. When it was unloaded, we all called it a death trap. Predictably, after a few parking lot beers, it was the coolest thing ever and we all took laps...

Found the pic

I'm going to go ahead and assume the guy on the right is playing air guitar... because the alternatives don't bear thinking about.

My first trip to the ER was due to one of those, when I was 5.

Remember figuring out how to lock your legs, turn and spin a 180? It explains a lot about us.
