not practical....but still
« on: July 28, 2010, 10:02:57 PM »
I know this isn't really a practical bike (trike) but it's really no less practical than the Y2K (Jet bike) or the Dodge Tomahawk.....but I would STILL like to have it for shows and freaking people out lol



I don't care too much for the music used in this, and some of it is pretty much B.S. (the speed in part of it) but it's a decent look at the bike....

I like it! I wouldn't say no if someone offered me one, but not sure that I would go out and buy one either. (even if I could afford it.)

Anyone else notice that the headlights for that were just some really cheap 20-30 dollar foglights from an auto parts store? I would think if you were going to build something like that you would get better headlights. And maybe even hide the wires to them. Other than that I really like it.

Well, first off, what happened to the chick?  Did she fall off in the tunnel?

Second, why weren't the choke butterflies opening more?  That and the different positions of the camera from angles next to the trike, make me think the background was all computer generated imposed for the shots up close.  The long range shots could have been real, though.

As to having it, I wouldn't look at it as a bike experience, more like an experimental riding machine.  Could be fun, okay.   :clap:

Sometimes I know where I'm going and how to get there, while other times I don't.  I'm just not sure which is which.
