| Dragonmaster, I hear you on the price that hurts .But not on a slow stang. I still think the stallion looks pretty cool though. Just wonder if anyone bought one or test rode one. When weather gets alot better over here I will go back and see about a test drive or ride. Nomad17

| Hey Chairhead I agree with that it needs handle bars as I said in my post. Must lose the steering wheel. But carcycle or not it is pretty darn cool looking. Your trike is nice also. Solo seat huh. Nomad17

| Yeah Chairhead - it's definitely a stretch calling that Stallion thing a Trike Motorcycle. Looks alot like a car with three wheels and no hardtop to me.

Rich man's toy, Nomad. If you can afford it, more power to you. But I'm not sure operating it would be considered "motorcycling". I consider trikes and sidecar rigs motorcycles because operating them is exactly the same as the two-wheeled models except leaning in curves. Obviously it's different.
Year's ago there was a three wheeled vehicle that was classified a car not a motorcycle. It was called the Isetta and was powered by the two cylinder Beemer airhead motor. Never really caught on in this country because in those days gas was cheap and big heavy cars were "in". My grandparents' neighbor had one and I remember going for a short ride. The doors were gull wing like, if I remember correctly. You see one for sale occasionally on Ebay Motors.
The Stallion is a far cry from the Isetta. More power, wider tires, all the features that evolve in 50 years' time.
We're still waiting for our first real snowfall down here. The lack of winter storms this year means less beach erosion for most island communities which translates to less sand being deposited on Wildwood's beaches (as if you needed any more).
Now, let me get this right - is it one down, four up?
