The best would be to check with the Florida DMV. But maybe something
here will help: http://preview.tinyurl.com/d7wwd

Thanks for the link, but it would probably take
a Lawyer to figure that all out.
I would hope that the people I talked to, that build bikes, would know
what's needed to get the Title done right, since they have to get
whatever they build on the road.
I'm hoping to avoid any imperial entanglements.
(e.g. dealing with the DMV)

Looks good, but I'd hate to see the price.

At a couple of rallys that I attend, a half dozen or so
BMW based three wheelers will show up. Seems to
be a kit car, probably the Scorpion, though I can't
recall for certain.
One of my other all time favorites is the Morgan
three wheeler. Again, I've seen a half dozen or
so on an outing.
Definitely on my wish list, but not likely to happen
soon.
