"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.
"Don't piss off old people The older we get, the less 'Life in Prison' is a deterrent."

I recall Dan Gurney and a bike called Alligator.  My memory did delete the product though.

In case anyone is interested:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligator_(motorcycle)

Good video on the design from the beginning. Also some background on Gurney.

Ya know Kui...Dan was 6'4" and didn't fit on a sportbike. I don't think he designed it for you...or me for that matter.

I'm 6'2", and pretty gangly, and all I see in that picture is a numb bum, and probably a sore back after a hundred miles or so.  The geometry of it looks, from the photo, like all your weight would be on your tail.  Probably great for those young guys... but not this old, beat-up body.

Maybe I'm missing something....
