      I seen similar rides at Bike Week this year. One guy had a Olds toronado front drive v8 trike.

      I had a picture, but deleted it by accident.

                This replica is called the "Planx Norton" and sold for ?22600! at auction in the UK late last year. Every part is hand made by by Halifax based enthusiast Barry Milner, this exquisite, life-size wooden model of a Manx Norton took five years and a total of 664 hours to complete. It is made with a mixture of woods with no stain used on any part. Just look at the detail, even a fake drip of wooden oil. Now there's a man that should get out more often!!!

                      Definately a good laugh. Especially when it would never happen in real life!\\/

                        It's not a motorcycle, Sure It resembles one, It's a rolling condemmed firehazard of a menace. Now as sculpture It's fine. But road worthy? Never.

                          While riding bicycles with my wife, we saw a guy riding a homemade recumbant style bike w/matching trailer made out of what looked like mostly two by fours. Looked okay, but kinda on the heavy side.

                              Yeah true! in real life it would have been over after the second round, the GSer would have taken the Harley home then.
