It left a young(ish) Jeremy Clarkson speechless.  That's saying something!

If this could be built cost effectively with the reliabilty that we've become accustomed to, I'd drive the hell out of it. I'd love to see real schematics. What size wheels? engine? what powers the outriggers?

Biggest problem, the $80,000 price tag.

Outriggers are air cylinder operated and auto at about 5 MPH.

Drive line if BMW I4, normal and turbo'ed. Trans is 5 speed with dry disk. Wheel are BMW bike from R model I believe.

I'd drive it too, but can't afford it and a house to live in.

Dunno why it would have to cost that much though... Cripes, with the underpinnings of a Hayabusa or even a goldwing, that thing could fly and get the groceries.

There are one or two of those in my region.  I have seen it on the road, and at bike meets.  It's very unique to see.

But I have never seen that many at once - from the front, it looked like a bunch of easter eggs rolling down the road.

Britania used to be such a proud nation.

You are correct, they look like a Ukrainian Easter egg festival after drinking a 40 oz bottle of Vodka.

one of the things i love most about riding is the feeling of the wind. you wont get that with that ugly watchamacalit.

one of the things i absolutly hate is getting wet. getting wet is only good with warm water in the shower. not while riding at 60-70 mph trying to get home before your girlfreind realizes you were at hooters. this ugly thingy solves the wetness problem.

people spend large amounts of money on gear. i have spend roughtly 600$ on gear at this website http://www.jackets4bikes.com/

i dont think any gear is needed with this thing

THIS......has GOT to be......THE ONLY petrol-powered Faberge Egg...........in the world....


Watch to see how crash-worthy it is:

       Power that egg with a no-knock type diesel and it would probably get 100 mpg. That and a good sound system would make a fun ride. It would be easier on the knees and back too.
