Another alien 914 sighting

I just have one question, "Why?"

... The body rusted out and your stuck with a 1.8l, Or your living in the bus, and you did not need the engine. It is, however, one of the nicer death wish trikes I have seen. Very cool fan shroud. Not sure how good it works. No T-stat. still cool.

looks like a single weber setup too. you've got love those dual muffers rightup close to the fuel tank, not to mention the thrill of filling it up with gas if the motor was hot.

My only question after seeing this thing a million times is how the heck does that little motor turn over those huge tires. Tires like that would make my 1.8L give up the ghost.

JB,

It's only got 100lbs of tire to turn and not 2200lbs of car body to move! That's my guess. hehe

I think it is upside down cause when he hits the throttle and flips that bike it will then be right side up
