with the steering wheel

seriously.

do the front axles still turn the tracks?  that sounds like a recipe for disaster unless the front knuckles are reinforced big time.  the torque from a track is much greater than a tire.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Agreed, but it looks like a steering wheel is still present...

and the torque from the tires they put on those things is far greater than the design envisioned.

What could go wrong?  Tongue

Later...

I'm out.

Yep, just turn the steering wheel

They are called Mattracks

The bolt directly to your hub and are powered by your axle

you mount them and remove them just like snow tires and a QD just like on an anti-sway bar

in the picture in front of the rear track

you can see the the stabilizer that stops the entire unit from spinning

refirbed they are about 20k

that's awesome.  has to be 4wd i assume, or can you put track on a FWD or RWD and leave the others to tires, albeit with spikes?
