ROTFL!  I thought the Ducati Desmosidici RR was pricy at $70K.  At least it included the race exhaust, decals and SERVICE for the first 2 years.  This is something else.  Did you get an eyeful of those Ohlins gas charged forks?  http://www.superbikeplanet.com/image/archive/15archive/213-s/09c.htm

Nobody here likes every thing shown in this thread..
 But some times, even on a style you dislike, a single detail may stand out..and may influence to pursue that direction, or something similar..
 Ie, the polished aluminun number fenders on the trike..the taildragger style on front....
 May get someone Thinking I want an alloy fender or tail section, cause it looks #$%*in on that trike......... Inspiration... Hence the name of the thread..

I'd love to know who built it and a bit more about it as there seems to be a lot great craftsmanship in it.
Aside from all that, you have to giggle at the fact that you strap yourself into it with a 4 point harness and slip on a set of ear muffs to ride (drive?) it

It's cheaper to learn from someone else's experience but first you have to learn to tell the difference between a fact and a Furphy.
