Sometimes an object can be engineered with function over form and it just looks so right......
Sadly this is not one of those times. What a hideous creation.

What a horrendous amount of money that must have cost to acheive ..................??? & I thought I was barking, I now feel quite sane
For someone supposedly doing 200mph his face doesn't get distorted like mine does at 70 ........................, I went indoor skydiving once,
in a 125 mph breeze my lips were flapping like a flag!
Over here it would finish up parked on a speed bump
Surely if you video yourself doing 200mph on the public road do you not get nicked in the States just as we would over here (unless of course you can
prove you weren't!)?
After all the above is said it does look sorta cool But pointless!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

It's the only trike I have seen that has four wheels

How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

The trike looks quite well engineered ... the vid though was tripe! If you could actually ride it that fast then I want to see the camera car as it
was easily keeping pace 
I thought when the lass was standing by the side of the road the trike wake was going to rip her dress off! I lost interest when it didn't.

the speedo shots were definitely faked - i'd like to see anything stop that quick from 200mph! If it could,. i doubt he'd still be
attached!

that's awesome - love it at about 1:03 where the gearstick on the trike opens the hanger doors

Humm fun, not quite my cuppa but quite like it. also if you read the comments:
quote:
Im guessing the speedo part in the middle section isn't genuine then?
No, it wasn't genuine. The truth is Tim isn't quite sure how fast it will go (faster than he's willing to ride it)
he'll tell young ladies at a stop light that it will go 300 mph
I suspect the handleing means you have to be slightly mad (death wish?) to find out how fast it would actually go.
