    The steering on them has to suck. It cant be easy to turn 2 tracks with a single dirtbike-like wheel!!

    I wouldn't be so sure about that, I would almost bet they are track steered too and rely more on them by far then the front wheel to steer it.

    I think they are dowright cool and must be worth a LOT of $$.

    Just imagine coming across ones of those in your area!

    No FUN???

    Can you say a blast?

    Who cares about how they look. I can imagine Chris having one, he would not go across rivers, he would just travel up and down stream!

    I would too though!

    Where's RUSHA

    Seems your the dumb one AAAAAAAHAA HAAA HAAAA

    Seriously though, for what they were designed to do, pull small loads in mountains, I'm sure they did it very well.

    They would make it through much deeper mud then any trike so why do you think they are dumb? They are not that slow either.

    " The Kettenkraftrad, type HK 101 is one of the most unique vehicles developed during the Second World War. The "tracked motorcycle" concept was conceived and patented by a German inventor, Heinrich Ernst Kniepkamp, in June of 1939. This was in response to a request for a fast, tracked vehicle capable of moving small loads in mountainous terrain. "

    That would be sick. What engines do you think they're running? Put a good 6.2L diesel with a FAT ol' turbo on her. mmmhmmm. I would buy one. But I agree, loose the front wheel/tire set up, and add a turret!
