Click on image for the eBay link. What: VF1100-powered trike
Where: Corpus Christi, Texas
Why: I have no idea
Price: Auction, $1000 opening bid
I'm continually amazed at the contraptions people will build, often at considerable expense and commitment. I'm reminded of a judge's admonishment to the hardened criminal he's sentencing to consecutive life terms; "If only you would have put your evil genius to productive use...."
Here's a perfect example, with a twist — it's powered by what appears to be a VF1100 engine driving the rear wheels through a swing axle differential. The substantial front suspension looks like something from a road grader and, if the yellow paint doesn't get your attention, maybe the plastic skull mounted atop the roll bar with its glowing red eyes will. To add yet another layer of horror, there's a trailer hitch installed (!). The rear-facing signage is prophetic; "Know Fear."
