But technically, it has 4 wheels, so that would make it a car. Sort of like that Tomahawk bike that Chrysler/Dodge made that was never street legal. Viper V10 engine making 500 ponies. Bikes have two wheels. Trikes have three. Cars have three or four or more.

Video is a little unbelievable, though. There is no way in hell that I would drive 200 MPH with just a skull cap on. Not to mention that the wind would pull him right off the thing with th way he was sitting on it. AND, I highly doubt that he would be able to scrub off that much speed that quickly and still stay on the bike either.

Not to mention that the chute gets retracted REALLY quickly.

Granted, I only watched until he picked up the chick (wouldn't mind a frontal shot of her sitting on there without him in the way...). Good luck to her holding on.  ;D

Mechanically, awesome job on the machine. Must be a blast to ride.

           Cool ride there! 8) Nothing wrong with THAT, ever think about putting a Lil' Honda 50 engine on it? Just wondered. I mean, it IS cool the way it is, I was just getting a bit lazy and thought about a little Honda power to motor it around. :D

              Sounds like the "Trike" might be an ever evolving "Work In Progress". ;)

              Kinda gives a person ideas, if you know what I mean. ;)

Yeah, it was pretty clear that a lot of that was faked for sake of the video.
