    I remember this project... (I didn't put it up in here as an insult to you. It was done to show that if it can be dreamed: it can be done! )

    I saw something like that one time. I tried to lose him, but he caught me. I told him I was sorry and my wife ran away with a cop last week. I thought he was trying to bring her back.

    I understand Bob you by no means insulted me at all, I did have a dream and fulfilled it.. As for control like I stated in my post it was actually easy to drive, better then the original set up, I can understand if that's hard to believe but really it was handled nice and super fun to ride, that being said heck all spYders are fun to ride.. The hardest part of the whole project was extending the wires, thank goodness for MoLee for he was the biggest help in that and Len handled the Bars themselves and the cables --- Man it sounds like I just sat back and watched, well that wasn't the case someone had to supervisor these to people.. Have a GREAT week-end guys and gals. Xman.

    Actually I was surprised he was able to run highway speeds and he never had any problem keeping up with me, of course I'm a pretty tame rider Really it worked well and I was impressed But what do I know I'm the one that built the V8 Trike. As for the video Joe I suspect I lost it in a computer crash.

    Here is a guy in the US with really long ape hangers. This picture has been around for a long time. No surprise that he is a HD driver.

    I'm not sure is more scary. The fact that he put them on the bike or that he found someone dumb enough to get on behind him.

    Yes and the marboro in his mouth makes it more impressive.
