Parts were:

Klock Werks engineers designed the gauge pod, fork tube covers, headlight bezel, floorboard mounts, floorboard undercovers, and wheel spacer cover in SolidWorks. All of these parts were 3D printed in only five days from polycarbonate plastic.

A brave fellow at the helm I’d say.
Bonneville is quite a slippery surface and trikes are not known for their stability.

Is there a land speed record for dragging your butt? I may go for that.

That is a pretty wild rendition of the American flag in that picture.

And where do they get off using DISK wheels with hub caps on a motorcycle? Everybody knows mag-type wheels would work much better....

This atrocity DESTROYS the beauty of truly engineered design by introducing discordant elements.

“A brave fellow at the helm I’d say.

With the right protective gear, that flat slippery surface is not so bad to fall on.

Was there a motorcycle in that picture? I’ll have to go back and look again. :)
