Actually, Doug, I started my three wheeler about 5 or 6 years ago.....I think the T REX came after I started. However it is a VERY good looking Machine. Since I am doing about 99.9% of all the work on mine ,it is taking some time and it will cost considerably LESS... I am in the process of constructing a new Shop/Studio...... the "Scorpion " has taken a back seat....Also I have been busy building the Fiberglass 55Chevy Chairs (Maybe this winter I will be able to finish "Her"

Mike, You can park within 12" of a building and still open the doors !!!!! It will weigh about 1500 lbs. Shep'

Let me know when you get it done Shep, we could hold a meet and teach fiberglass construction.. then build a mold of the whole thing and I can show ya how to cut the weight to 1/4th of that.

Mike, Thanks for the invitation, I am sure this would make for a "FUN" meet.... The way I built the "Scorpion" incorporates the "Plug" within the construction..and used most of the donor bike frame, a lot of MDO, and a steel frame with roll bar.....if it was built from a mold, and used some Kevlar, aluminium, chrome moly tubing etc., the overall weight could be held well under 1000 lbs..... With the same engine this would be a "Rocket" As it is now the top end should exceed 140 mph and the fuel mileage (Under normal driving ) should be around 40 mph per gallon.

Gee, Randy. Buy a bike, that's kewl! Every accountant, real estate agent, doctor and lawyer has a bought off the showroom floor "custom" bike. Can't you see that the Indian Chief is building something different?

Thanks Santo, For pointing the OBVIOUS out...... In fact one of my favorite quotes is .... "Those who dance are thought to be mad by those who cannot hear the music."
"Any thing that runs over 20 mph, and when you dismount, you have to "PROP IT UP " well,,,,,,,,,, THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!
