Just saw this, and it is way cool. Anyone in the Mira Mesa area want to go over to Wild West choppers and check it out.
I would like one of these. I could see these in many many different configurations. F1 look , Rat Rod look, Bare Metal look, etc. Here is the video and or slideshow.. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/slideshow/news/...332/detail.html cclin914nation |

There is a similar configured machine made by Bombardier. Not as inexpensive looking, though. I wouldnt mind building one of those with a BMW power plant (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I dont see what all the hoopla is about, Rupp built one like that back in the 70's and it didnt sell very well. As I recall, it was built with a motorcycle backend with 2 wheels in front and an enclosed cab. It looked pretty cool back then. Maybe it was just ahead of it's time.

Saw it on the news last night. Appearantly all they need are front fenders to make it legal.
I think it's a good concept. Joe... WAY too funny! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |
