Why? Why Life? Why not?
For me and Peel, anti-wheelie bar, anti-slip corner traction, easy to control hands off drifting, mud traction and floatation, trailer cargo carrier and idler wheel for snow track. If I could figure out simple drive then might be able to break into low 9 sec 1/4 m ET's on skinny tires. My install must be more Wright brothers bicycle technology but might be ripe-easy for a mono shock swing arm hinged off front rear axle. But first big accessory should be a side car rig I think. What would you load up take cross county off road TransAmerica Trails then some freeways to have a shoot out with them electric brained corner cripples?

That reminds me of a bike I saw up in Oregon when I met up with SwooshDave. There was a new dirtbike that had a snowmobile tread in back, and a ski up front. Looked like you could convert it back to a regular bike pretty easy, that was cool.
The three wheeled bike is intresting, but... ???

Yes Sir cash, that is part of Ms Peel's plan for winter snow play and summer mud bog hog wallowing. Peel's 2nd swing arm mounts on the Water Buffalo's extra long axle that extends past 1st boxed swing arm and a mono shock attaches to rear loop, which in Peel is reenforced and strut braced to take cargo impact loads down ward and road impacts on 3rd wheel upward. If I can figure out a way to drive the 3rd wheel then I know Ms Peel could hook up her power to break under 10 sec 1/4 mile standing starts - w/o the track attached or would sling off I think.
