I still remember the first reverse trike I saw while in high school back in the early 70's. It was a yelllow enclosed body with two wheels up front and you plugged your M/C into the back. The throttle, clutch, brake lines were extended into the cab. This was right after the gas shortages to help save gas over the cars of the day. It allowed for a sigle driver and was ablle to get about 40 mgd. It didn't look too safe and I don't think it was widly used.

HA reading this made me think of the time where I jumped on the old 250R three wheeler and I was getting coached on it about how its different than my race quad (Yamaha Blaster and 400 EX) AND THEN BAM I hit the throttle and was in for a wild ride, My response "uhhh, ummmm :cus:!!!. My buddy then put the motor in a quad a few years later, wish I had a chance to ride it then .

Checked the sites, Sweet, but I can't imagine climbing in or out of one of these so I'll stick with my RT or my Supercharged Miata. ;)
