    A trike that turns heads

    I was watching "American Thunder" this evening and was presently suprised when they interviewed Exile Custom Cycles in California, highlighting their new piece of work...a $65k trike including two 18" fatties on the back. Now that's something that would turn heads on the road!! Check out the pics of the beast. I got to get me one of these...

    It's friggin beautiful, but it seems you'd need a 40-acre field to turn it around with the fork/head tube angle like that.

    Yeah, it would probably be a real pig on the street too. Some people will pay alot of money for something that all it will do is see alot of time outside the bar.

    That's correct. That bike is at least 3-4 years old. Has been on television numerous times.

    I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at it. It's a beautiful and simple piece.

    I don't claim to be a professional when it comes to the value of something like that, but I can't help but think that 60k isn't bad in reality. A custom motorcycle built by him will probably sell for that much if not more. Surely the trike would be worth as much or more than a motorcycle due to the parts alone.

    It's got the wrong front end on it. It needs wider tripples and a fat front tire.

    I like that guys builds.
    The whole hidden clutch and throttle cable thing is the cats meow.

    Both of the grips twist to operate the clutch and throttle,and the cables are hidden in the bars...Awesome.
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

    Yeah I watched that episode. When he built it he did a massive burn out in his garage and at the competors. I just love it. But it needs a little bit of green.
