|  Hmmm.... I wonder if it can still wheelie?  Why would someone do this to what was (once) such a pretty machine?

| Maybe we could add a little bell on the handle bars and maybe clothespin some playing cards to the wheels. That'd be sweet.

  | I remember reading something about one of those awhile ago. Some guy got in a wreck and had fairly serious nerve damage so he turned his 1k into a trike and kept having fun with it

| Sweet, I'd ride it. It looks almost like a standard ATV swing arm. Hope he beefied up the tranny some. Be alot more stress on the gears with both those tires grabbin the ground.

| I'd just laugh my @$$ off if someone tried to corner fast on that thing... It can't lean into the corner like a motorcycle, and without a pair of tires on the front to balance it out, it is very unstable. The only thing it has going for it is a relatively low center of gravity. Still gonna be easy to make it want to either lose traction on the front tire, or just tip up on 2 wheels... hehe...

 | granted its differnant.... but its better than giving up on the sport that you love to do.. Im sure all of you would do the same.... if my memory seves me right... this was in a motorcycle mag.... this guy just bought the bike, and a bunch of accesories... and was sent over sea's to fight the towel heads. he then found his was onto a land mine, and lost his leggs??? or was @ lease parilized..... I know I would do that if I was in his situation.. later joe
