This would be like the CanAm spyder but much, much cooler. http://www.gizmag.com/morgan-three-wheeler/18032/ | ||

That's cool. | ||

I like it (a lot) however if you sit in it, and it has a steering wheel its a car | ||

My brother is building one in his basement. He's got the front suspension almost done. The frame is next. His will have two seats side by side, with a steering wheel. In the rear he's plugging in his Yamaha V-max! Should be an interesting ride! When I'm too old to hold up a two wheeler I'll either go that route or get a side car. Probably a side car, I don't like the steering wheel part either!  | ||

The Morgan would be a lot easier to drive than a sidecar. But they are both relatively dangerous because of the inherent instability of 3 wheels that can't cope with sudden or extreme maneuvers. However if driven/ridden within those limits, they are fine and fun.  For example, there was a kit car once offered, the Fire-Aero, with 2 wheels front and a motorcycle drive train in back that flipped when a popular magazine road tested the thing. Just because it may look like a sports car, that doesn't mean it can handle like one, | ||

Here's my pick for the best non-motorcycle ride. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaWoo82zNUA&feature =related | ||

Sparky, you need to look up the T-Rex. http://www.campagnamotors.com/T-REX/specs.html 1.3 G's in the corners! That will toast a lot of sports cars! | ||

Johnboy, That video was darn funny. I wonder what the insurance cost for that car?? | ||

Insurance does not matter. Initially the Atom was available as a kit car here in the states, only through a dealership in California, but I believe even that has been shut down due to DOT standards. Don't know anything about the T-Rex, but if they ever build one of the Atom's for the US, I want one. Druelly | ||

I saw a T-rex in person on my way home from Buelltoberfest. I'm surprised by the price tag, I thought it would cost half what it does based on what I saw. Looked like a tech school final project involving a wrecked 'Busa. The KTM X-Bow is available in the US now as a kit car, just drop in an Audi V8 (sold separately) | ||

Here is something like my brother is building. The front suspension is C4 Corvette with the coil over conversion. My brother's will have a V-Max plugged into the back. Looks like fun even if it doesn't lean in the corners! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbAM32bvA-k |
