Mride T42 Turbo GSXR 3 Wheeler

By

Micke Fredriksson of UmeÃ¥ Sweden, decided to build a 3 wheeler powered by a GSX-R1000 engine. Last year he completed his project and has since removed the rear section and converted it into 4 wheel configuration. Depending on the angle, it looks pretty good, though from some angles it doesn't flow quite so well, but the real interest here is the amount of engineering and … [Read more...]

26 Inch Motorcycle Tires

One of the unique design characteristics was his use of a 26 inch front wheel and tire and as I asked in the comments on that story, where do you get 26 inch tires? I never saw them in any tire catalog I've run across. Well, the other day I did a little digging and they … [Read more...]

Ducati Terra Mostro Dual Sport

By
