Ya know - looks kinda fun.
Love the Aspencade instrument cluster.
Owning it would be - uhhh - interesting to say the least. I would love to put 10 miles on it for fun - but I'd be glad for it to not be mine.

Depending on just how well it's been engineered to cool itself, and how the carbs are doing, that could be easier than you think.

Well if they lengthen the body a bit, paint it flesh colored with a purple nose, they could sell them at Harley dealers as an alternative to the penis-compensation thing
that seems to be so prevalent in those circles. A true dildo-yacht.

Dood could have at least vaccuumed out the interior before taking the pics.
Unless I'm mistaken, 'mice live here' is not a strong selling point.

Odd number of wheels = instability
No thanks.
Have any of you ever ridden the actual Goldwing trike conversions so many people buy? They are scary as hell.

How so? Two in the front, one in the back is really stable.
More stable than one in the front, one in the back...
My MP3 500 has this configuration, and it is absolutely planted in all conditions.

Agreed, but I'd rather have 1 in front/1 in back or 2 in front/2 in back

But the MP3 leans, so it has all the advantages of a motorcycle and a trike, rather than having the disadvantages of both. I remember the first time I saw one of those hustling through a turn - was impressed
