I am going nuts here and need some help. Please look!!!
« on: June 25, 2007, 03:18:54 AM »
This is driving me nuts, have any of you heard of or seen a single wheeled motorcycle? I seem to remember seeing one somewhere but I can't for the life of me remember where. The wheel is very large in diameter, going all the way around the rider, but narrow. I think the power is applied via a friction wheel to the inner rim.

Any ideas?

Peace and Long Rides,

Jeff

There was an article about the guy who builds them in the Detroit News.. He lives in Walled Lake, MI. I'll try to find the link.
