Saw some of these in person at an ABATE ride in Dukane, IL in 06.  They're very cool looking.  There was a recent thread about these where it was mentioned that te company recently folded due powerplant supply issues and low sales I think it was.

You were there?  So was I.  The guy that owns it I've known since the early '70's, and is like a rolling salesman for these things, and promotes Downers Grove Yamaha which sells them.  At about $50,000 a copy, I'd rather have an airplane.

Heh cool, yeah wife and I attended on her Shadow 600, we had a big stuffed panther strapped to the trunk bag.  Rode in with my brother and his buddies, but ended up WAY in the back of the pack.  That was a fun ride, were you there on the yellow bike in your avatar?

cheers

PS did you check out this trike?

We were just discussing trikes on another forum and someone posted pics of the T Rex without the body work.  I will tell you that it leaves much to be desired especially for 50K.   VW had a concept that was similar, not quite as fast, but only 17k.

Well, that year I was near the front of the pack, maybe 30th bike out.  Did you go all the way to the end at the Batavia VFW?
I entered the show, and took the prize for metric bike 

[mystic_1]

Yup, rode to the end, donated the panther, and hung out for a couple of hours listening to the band.

Congrats on your win.  Wait, was it a 750 with a dual disc setup?

You almost meet the nicest people on a Honda
