That would be a nice toy to have. Great for going to work if raining :) but I am sure it cost an arm and a leg and better to give one for another CVO :D :huepfenjump3: :P

That's the subject of another thread around here somewhere, and I'll make a similar comment to the one I posted in that thread.  Thank God Harley didn't design it or build it.  I can see it now, the cheap Chinese struts fail and the rider obviously can't stick his leg out to hold the bike up so he just tumbles over to one side or the other.  Assuming he tumbles toward a ditch, I envision the "bike" rolling over and over until it hits bottom, hopefully in a dry ditch but who knows where it might end up.  Or on the other hand, one of the struts deploys on it's own while you're cruising at 80 mph, leading to a ground loop and crash. This thing would be a liability attorney's wet dream if it was imported to the USA.

I would say that is a 20 year old video by the looks of jeremy.  I do like the bike/car just too expensive.

Yep, pull the wheels and canopy off and it would make a nice bobsled!
