Default Good deed and saw a cool/weird bike

Saw a G'Wing trike on the opposite side of the road on the shouder so I turned around and went back to check on him. I don't know squat about a wing but I do know if your battery ony has 8.6v's after riding for a few hours, your not charging.

Anyway his wife was down the driveway at the house (way off the road). I BS'd with the guy for a bit and his wife drives up in/on a Thoroughbred Motorsports trike. I've never seen one of these before. It's different, very different.

150 hp ford 2.3L engine / 5 speed auto xmsn, steering wheel, heat and air conditioning

I won't be trading in my Ultra but I wouldn't mind test driving one of these for a day. In my mind it's NOT a motorcycle but it is a cool toy.

Here's the website: http://www.thoroughbred-motorsports.com/

I thought $32kplus was too much for an Ultra back in 02.It all depends on what floats your boat.

Seen a few of these, I don't understand, why not just by a little sports car.
