Umm... awesome, but I have serious doubts about turning the thing :).

At least with 3 wheels if the springer kicks back you wont have to worry about sliding on your side.

That looks like a great idea for folk that can no longer ride on 2 wheels. I can't imagine what kind of linkages have to be involved with those leaning rear wheels.

Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it is supposed to do.

Speaking of Bandit where is he?

Interesting video. Makes a trike with a solid axle look like a turd. But then again at the prices of a straight axle kit I don't even want to know how much this one costs.

A few random thoughts...
The first trike would be easy to turn, just pick up the front wheel and walk it around!
The leaning trike looks perfect for the poor guy whose dad never taught him how to balance a bike.
That green one is awesome. Great use of a Twisted Twin. Love the radiator. And room for a passenger too Phil.
May the wind always be at your back and the sun overhead as you make your way down the ever winding, smoothly paved, traffic free road!

It looks like one of those fiberglass bodies ment for trike conversions using VW rear mounted engines but it really does look good.

Interesting front suspension. Looks like telescope tubes and leading link combined. Hmmm
