It's a Syd Meade design, so you know it's cool looking.  Fully faired
to keep the rider sheilded from the 300MPH wind blast.  OK, so you
won't be able to have light walls to make the cagers back off.  But
you will have that fat, fat front wheel.

I bet the brakes would work really well also.

I wonder how hard it would be to build a real world facsimile.

It's OK.  You only broke your leg in three places.  Walk it off.

Either that or two of them ... which would make for an interesting
suspension setup.


The real-world handling would depend entirely on the suspension
geometry. You could probably build one out of BMW k-bike running gear.
Start with a Google Images search. Lots of people have posted images of
it.

The one worry I have is its behavior in a side wind.
