    Doug Domokos "wheelie king" 185 found in AZ

    A friend of mine just bought Doug's white 185s trike. It was the trike used in the high wire wheelie show. Sadly the seller sold the seat and rear fender separate from the trike and for some reason the front end was cut off. He has contacted Doug's sister and she said she has the front end. I will post some pics in a bit. They were posted on a social media site.

    Awesome find!!

    Saw Doug back in the '80's ride a wheelie all around the entire track at the Supercross in the Pontiac
    Silverdome when I lived in MI. Never put his foot down or touch the the front wheel to the track.

    He truly was the "wheelie king".

    He found a good one, but why would someone cut the frt end off.
    If its on the internet its got to be true they can't put any lie's on the internet

    One-of-a-kind hasn't ever had a more fitting use. That's probably the coolest find I've ever seen. Was the from end really cut off due to marital strife like was said on facebook? I'm sure it won't be too hard to find the fender and seat, I'm sure the person who bought then did get them to put on their woods beater. Once this spreads around for a while they'll turn up. Thanks for sharing, hope it can get restored the way it should

    See this is weird because I thought there's a video on youtube of a guy who supposedly owned this already? Did Doug have more than one?

    I would have swore I saw the same video Louis. Somebody bought it and was doing wheelies using the split axle in a parking lot or something.

    I haven't seen that since 84' when I was being built at Honda. Pretty cool it's still around!

    The reason that the front end may have been cut off was because it should have been crushed, but for what ever reason he, or someone got to keep it like I got to keep my bikes because Honda just needed the vin numbers off it.
