And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Didn't Yamaha make something much like this in days past? Single side swing arms front and rear? Hydraulic steering actuation? Lotsa concept bike pix, but this one was back in the 80's or 90's
What I like about hub-less wheels on bikes is all the steering and braking forces are concentrated in one spot right at the contact patch. No notable flex to degrade the handling. Might not matter much on the sand/salt, though.
Strange looking critter. Hey C.W, could you do me a huge favor and update my site on your Blogroll? I finally got things straightened out a while back and found a permanent home.
That looks dangerous.
ReplyDeleteToo many little parts spinning to make that front wheel trustworthy.
