This...this....*thing* is oddly amusing...  In a sea of me-too S&S powered "customs", this stands out as unique and ridiculous.  I'll continue to admire from a distance, though; don't need one in my garage.

For maximum trike hooligan potential (is there such a thing?), it needs independent left and right brakes.  Skid steer FTW!

Does it come with a matching hip flask with a sippy cup lid?  Maybe Garanimals chaps?

From a cool standpoint, that thing kicks the Can-Am's ass.   (imo)

Agreed.  More like they just laid the bar on the ground...

yes, i remember it.
i remember riding it down the steepest hill by my house, feet off the peddles (which were moving at 11ty billion RPM's)
i crashed of course, not being remotely in control. but i did it again, and again.

eventually, my faithful steed snapped in half at the steering yolk, partly due to age, and even more to do with my being far to big for it by then.

thanks for reminding me where i first felt that WOOT grin spread across my face!

Don't forget wearing a hole in the front wheel from 'braking' with your pedals.

I don't remember my first Big Wheel because I never had one. They came out when I was in the 3rd grade, which is a bit old for a tricycle.

Weird you thought you were too old for a little toy then, yet IIRC, you currently own a scooter  Tongue
