I like that. Tired of the old typical VW trike.

Set up like a mid-engine buggy. Cleaver. I would think having one's legs wrapped between the engine and carbs could bet a bit uncomfortable. Creaky old me would definitely be access challenged.

Shake a Leg...

May not apply here.

You wouldn't be vaulting into the nearest bar-stool from this position?

However, hearing the dual webers gulping air at full throttle may have it's rewards.

Looks like you would have to have heat proof jeans to keep your legs and junk from overheating

Von Dutch built a two wheeled VW bike. Mike on the Pickers show ended up buying it a while back.

Great find.

". What he found was the bike Von Dutch had built around 1966 along with paperwork that had Ed “Big Daddy” Roth as a past owner. He made a 21 K$ deal on the spot and took the motorcycle home with him."

I've been thinking of building one like that since the late 60's when i started building VW street legal rails. I'm glad to see someone finally did and as thought, it looks good[cl

A local guy here in Ohio has been building them configured that way for many years. Neat machines.

He has some amazing creative abilities.

Even if you never build anything like this, to see all the different makes of parts come together successfully is mind boggling.

I have trouble making stock parts fit![S[S
