Take a dual-carbed aluminum v8 and the seat off your Harley, and stick 'em right in the middle of a huge-ass motorcycle tire: http://www.americanroadshop.com/The_Monocycle/the_monocycle.html http://www.dself.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/TRANSPORT/motorwhl/kerryV8.jpg http://www.dself.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/TRANSPORT/motorwhl/roadster.jpg Yes, it moves.

bike Whew ou: :eek2: uzzled: Thats about the wildest thing I've seen! lol! I guess he needs the weight to keep the thing stable...if you hit the brakes too hard do you reverse loop it? :grin: Gives a whole new meaning to "wheelie" ! The question is really: why not? :shock: - Bill
Monster Garage Did anyone see Monster Garage last week? Jesse James took a 72 Peterbilt and pulled the Cummins Big Cam engine and trans out and was going to make a motorcycle out of it. But after removing the engine and trans and becoming more aware of the size and weight they decided to make a trike out of it. It was one of the best shows ever with no "freebies". It cost almost $9K but it was still cheap for them. I like their trike better than this one wheeled wonder. And of course as soon as they got it to run Jesse took it out for a spin.
Re: bike That's called "Gerbiling" (like when a gerbil flips over on a hampster wheel). The thought of flipping over the twin-carb motor running between my legs would make me nervous too. :eek2: - Freed
It would take MASS QUANTITIES of drugs and alcohol to get me to even consider jumping into one of those with a V8! :eek2: .. now maybe the little 5 HP one would be fun to try. :Brow:
