I've Found My Next Bike...

[desmoquattro]

Zee and I saw this ingenious concoction somewhere in Sonoma County today:



$700 OBO. It even includes a tow bar, conveniently welded to the front axle, for when you burn up the rear tire.

I'm hazarding a guess that this isn't some early prototype of the Can-Am Spyder.

So that's where my gixer and dune buggy went

Is that one of those "I just woke up after a 7 day bender of crack and gin and made some really weird sh*t with a welder" projects?

[sfarchie]

Let's see you wheelie that!

[mostrobelle]

Wut?   

[darthmoto]

Looks like the result of a happy accident

Given the picture I wondered if it was a riding mower...?

Nope...


I don't see even a passing resemblance

was this in england, oz, hong kong, india, japan, etc? 

if not, the builder put the sidecar on the wrong side ... unless they want the passenger to take the hit when an oncoming car pulls over the double yellow

None of the above...it was Sonoma County. And it isn't a sidecar...it's a dune buggy front end welded to a GSXR 750 rear end. The steering wheel was on the left side.

man, i gotta get higher quality drugs ... NOW i see wtf that thing is configured to be.  not a sidecar ... it's a front of a dune buggy, with a beater gsxr for powertrain. 

it's gotta be worth $700, just for the "wtf" reactions one would get when driving it

Looks like a T-Rex turned train wreck.

You leave a dune buggy and a bike alone together long enough and eventually...

[Michael Moore]

I still think they ought to rig up a blade underneath that thing and at least make it useful.

...or attach it to a blender, or make it amphibious.
