the Blastolene Brothers (built it) Hemi trike is caught on video finally (designed and owned by Tim Cotterill)





Found on http://www.ridelust.com/i-dont-know-what-this-thing-is-but-damn-i-want-to-ride-it/#more-85470 where no one identified it as the Blastolene trike, but commentor Rich identifies it as Tim Cotterill's Rocket" and I learned that Tim designed it, but the only people who could build it, of course, were Blastolene Brothers

You can see several videos of it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su7gNQf8gK8

I posted all of the very very few photos of it online in 2009, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/04/blastolene-brothers-invent-again.html and updated that post with a couple shots from Randy Grubb's scrapbook when I met him at SEMA 2009 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/11/pissd-off-pete-newest-creation-of-randy.html when he was showing Piss'd off Pete

1906 Indian Tricar, sometimes the victorian (rubenesque) biker chicks make a 3rd wheel necessary (not really, but funny)

Mr. and Mrs. Willie Kay in 1906. Before the Model-T brought affordable autos to the masses, motorcycles, and the many variations thereof, were a less expensive alternative. The Indian Motocycle Company offered the Tri-Car, a three-wheeler that placed the passenger right up front. That seat on the front is pretty heavy duty, curled foot piece and fullsides, art deco-ish Found on http://www.atomicantiques.com/2010/05/21/indian-tri-car
