I never gave it any credibility. Just thought it was a cool picture. Draw your own conclusions

Someone actually sent me that photo via FB a couple of days ago. Yeah, pretty cool looking. But I have doubts about authenticity. Like most everything online!

I conclude that it will not work. Looking at the forks on the front end, there are three fork tubes connecting two front tires. That tells me that the axle is common on both wheels. Therefore they cannot move independently. Since the forks have a rake, when the steering is initiated, one of the wheels is going to raise up above the road surface and the other one is going to do the actual turning.

yeah I'm thinking the same thing, this thing does not go on the road. Its a HD showpiece, for parades at most. Power unit gets towed, trailer moved by a real tractor if in fact it does leave the HD yard.

It's real, have seen several pictures of it at bike shows, but I haven't seen a pic or video of it actually pulling the rig. I don't see any reason why it couldn't, but doubt they could get much speed or maneuver it safely on public roads.
