Tilting Three Wheelers
« on: May 31, 2010, 07:54:20 PM »
Three wheelers have always intrigued me and I am particularly looking forward to seeing the 170mpg Piaggio MP3  Hybrid when it arrives in my neck of the woods. Meanwhile, we had a visit from Bob Mighell of Tilting Motor Works to show us his trick Harley Davidson..If you are intrigued you can go here and see his machine in action. http://www.tiltingmotorworks.com
I would be interested to hear about other tilting three wheel designs..I know there are several out there.

I am sure it is cheaper, however my engineering chums tell me that two wheels up front equals happiness  :) and two wheels at the rear equals misery :'(.

I have been following Bob for a couple years waiting for him to finish a real prototype for me to look at. He stopped by on the way south with his Harley Road King and gave me a ride.

I had the flu... thought it was allergies... and so, I wasnt looking so good. I was lucky to be upright. But, it was sure worth it to get to take a spin.
