Dude showed up at a biker party last weekend pulling this bike with a Rolls Royce. Has some kind of air ride suspension that raises and lowers the front end. The left footpeg is actually the clutch with a normal shifter position. The right side has a bar for a foot rest with two independent pedals for front and rear brake. The right "footpeg" is the throttle. There is also a throttle lever thingy on the right handlebar. It does run and I overheard him say he's ridden it about 40 feet. Not sure how practical this thing is but it's definitely different.

Wow! With all the foot controls, I was surprised to see handlebars on there at all!!! Perfect for the guy with both arms missing. uh... maybe not

But really, it is cool to see people going out and trying anything.... ya never know... something might come from the experimenting with foot controls.

I'll at least give the guy credit for being different! One of the things I noticed is that he has a lot of seat!! The RollsRoyce is a nice touch also. I'm not sure about the trailer that appears to only have one wheel though. I wouldn't want to ride the thing, it looks like you'd have to think too much with all the pedals and stuff. Hopefully you can shoot us some photos when its all done

Amazing what you can do if you have more time and money than sense!

Don't you wonder how much each of those 40 feet he has ridden has cost him?

My thoughts exactly. Probably the reason he's only ridden it 40 feet is because it's fubar. It gets a ride to a show, people stand around and go WTF? and then it goes back in the garage.

I've heard of thinking outside the box, I just don't think this cat has seen the box yet! Neat I guess ya need an extra toe or two though.
