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)

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....
