haha we have one around us too, crazy things.

 

Don't you love it when the training wheels pop down, strange toys to say the least.

How are you feeling Miss S?

 

shh no off topic, bad Mike Bad... scratchpad. lol

 

This would do it for me: # 2 built for sale to the public, 1936 H-D Knucklehead vin # 36EL1002
Earliest known Knuck in existence. 36EL1001 H-D had & took apart to study & parts got scattered to the wind..

Several yrs ago this bike was on Ebay, when bidding went over $125,000.00
the auction closed.. It was privately bought by H-D in Milwaukee for the Museum.. This was found / restored & finally sold by a Fla friend.

 

Steering geometry on a fully enclosed mono-track vehicle should be different from a bike (generally, more rake and trail to calm it down). Additionally, such designs tend to be susceptible to side winds (ask the Salt Flats racers who run those enclosed bikes). So aerodynamics are even more critical than for a two or three track vehicle. Getting into what bikers call a "tank slapper" in one of those things is really scary.

 

How exactly does a vehicle with a long rake get a tank slapper?

 

Now that is a bike!!! I'm not sure what category that other thing falls in, but I wouldn't want to be caught riding it.

 

Yes, I agree !!!
Previous owner (& friend) paid $20,000.00 for it as a basket case..
Very hard to restore a 1936 Knuck, as there were so many running changes made thru that 1st year of the Knuck...
