That'd look cool as hell, just sittin' in the driveway. Don't know how safe I'd feel at 50mph, though.

That looks really really cool. It would probably go faster if the spark plugs were connected to something.

That's HELLAKEWL. I'd have to engineer some hydraulic dual dampeners on the back, might help make it streetable.

sharper image used to have a pedal recumbant for adults that was build on the green machine offer.... I should have picked it up when I saw it, because now they are outta business.

I rode my Big Wheel until I exceeded its maximum weight limit and it bent in half. Then I rode it around with my butt dragging the ground! Mine did happen to be black and green though. ~SM

I had a knight rider big wheel which this thing did have a e brake you could pull to make it slide but it did not do it as cool as those green machines. (Message edited by firebolt020283 on March 24, 2011)
