Tricycle....OF DEATH!!

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/bik/3745805538.html

I'd ride it. Be better with a solid axle for the prerequisite wheelies.

The distance between the clutch and sprocket looks scary.

Yes, that's the scary part.

On the plus side, it was hand built by a professional welder.

Is it just me, or is the seat angle improper?

What could possibly go wrong?

If that was cheaper and closer I would buy it for Lolz.

No....this is tricycle of death:

Death by embarrassment.

I have to admit one of these looks fun.

Oh, I like that!

Never heard of carbonated steel. Alcoholic beverages, well,yes.

I beg to differ...

Umm... Is there someplace to put your legs, or does the amount of pure awesome just rip them directly from your hips the moment you blip the throttle?

Pete, there's pegs. look between the stator cover and the exhaust header

Are those the things they use on Nitro Circus? They DO look like fun. Especially the "Carbonated steel tubes."

The problem with all the others ( except perhaps the Can-Am) is that they lack the element of having the CG 2 feet above the wheels. The craigslist trike could probably kill you at 2mph, the other would get you to ridiculously high speeds before dispatching you.

Wait, did I call that a problem....?

I'm not sure that I've ever wanted anything so much in my entire life. I do have a spare SOHC CB750 engine. Hmmm...

WHERE CAN I BUY ONE OF THESE? I MUST HAVE ONE.

Thanks.

That trike is seriously cool. Any videos of it running?

@David I see a hand brake on the right bar. I'm assuming a single disc brake either front or rear

You are all wrong.

The tricycle of death showed up at the GRM $2KX ($2008?) Challenge more than a few years ago. A go cart engine, small off road tires and a 5 1/2 ft welded hoop sissy bar with a spike. The brake was a pull handle that forced a metal plate onto one of the rear tires.

When it was unloaded, we all called it a death trap. Predictably, after a few parking lot beers, it was the coolest thing ever and we all took laps.

Then the ski rope showed up. I still remember a team member from Westside, cross stepping like you read about being pulled around the last downhill corner before being whipped into the fender of someone's Miata.

It was probably a good thing, because someone else showed up with one of the hotels luggage carts.

Yeah. The Challenge is awesome. I hate being deployed.

I was thinking: "Hey, where is the gas tank?"

But then I realized, this is the tricycle of death, the gas tank will clearly be a plastic bag of gas you wear around you neck...
