Found this on the Marketplace on the Book of Faces... I'm... horrified, although I respect the passion it took to build it...









Text of the listing:

Camero Tryke, current motor cycle registration, front and doors are fiberglass, body is metal, never was a camero. New body panels where purchased for the build, 1998 Honda Valkrie was used for Tryke part and needs carbs rebuild to run. Vw front suspension with disc brakes. Needs finished. Too many projects to finish and this one sitting on back burner. May trade or cash offers. If you are serious send me your cell and I’ll text you a video of it when it was running last

(I'm intentionally NOT linking to the actual listing, I don't want this to be a classifieds listing, just an interesting.... thing...)

My only thought was... did the rider survive the accident?   Grin

And if you walked into a Virginia DMV or inspection station they'd just say.. You're kidding, right?  No way!.

There are all kinds of people and circumstances in this world.  It is curious, just what was on that guy's mind when he envisioned that.

I don't see a trike of any sort in my future even when I am forced to leave 2 wheels behind, but I'm not ruling 3 wheelers out either.

I suppose it does eliminate the hot engine heat on a hot day, but does it have a/c  ?
and does the master cylinder work on those front disc brakes?

and look at all that storage room under the hood for the wife..... Wink

Got to admire the grit it took to get the project as far as it came so far

Agreed on the crossbreed shown.   I assume their was a lot of beer (or something) involved in the build.

Reference three wheeled vehicles, to each their own but, prior to buying my trike I got into several different models/brands.   Getting in and out was a lot more difficult (for me) than the trike getting mounted/dismounted.
