Morgan inspired three wheeler

Here's something that old car buffs and bikers can appreciate:
http://cycle-car.com/

Man oh man, what a nice ride. Harley powered (No, I don't know why.) three wheeled sports car. 1000lbs. classified as a motorcycle in most states, hand built in Seattle, (and it doesn't have a rain top.)

According to the Pete Larson (company owner) it sneaks up and eats Porsches on the twisties and is, apparently, so much fun to drive that Ferrari owners say, "that's fun to drive."

and its only $30,000.00 (minus the motor.) Lets see, add 10K for a killer aftermarket motor and we're up to $40K. Now that's a lot of money, and you could get a BMW 3 series for the same price. But they don't hand build many BMWs for that kind of cash, and no-one is going to look at a BMW 3 series and say, "Damn that's Cool."

Go check out the site. I insist

Because the Harley engine looks like a JAP engine, and John Allen Prestwicke hasn't been making new ones for quite some time. I have seen thse done with Moto-Guzzi engines, and while they are intenresting, they don't look like a Morgan with a JAP.
