Okay, so you’re thinking it’s just an addition to a custom motorcycle so that more passengers, maybe even kids, could be carried, but there is a distinct lack of passenger foot peg(s). And, it’s probably not the wisest idea to carry kids so far away from the operator especially with their tiny feet dangling in a potentially dangerous area. Personally, in my 53-years of riding motorcycles I’ve only ridden on the back of one three times so I’d be just a bit more than completely nervous about hopping way, way back on one. I wouldn’t even do that on a dare and I’m a sucker for dares.

    The construction of the third-wheel addition has it share of mystery too. I can only assume the Softail swingarm is not swinging anymore to provide a stiff platform for the twin shock rear end that does move. If they somehow both moved, there’d have to be a lot of serious pushing and shoving going on between the two. So I’m going with the idea that the original swingarm is now part of the mainframe, but I could be wrong on that one. This mystery builder at the Boardwalk Show in Daytona seems to be unafraid of tackling anything as they’re thinking completely outside the box so a double-acting rear suspension might just be something they’d do.

   Even though I might be completely wrong on all of this, I do have to wonder how much of a load the new extended skinny-tube swingarm could endure. There’s really not much there. I even find the side-to-side swingarm twisting aspect a little daunting so maybe this is just all for the hell of it. If that’s the case, the builder got exactly what he wanted. I’m looking, you’re looking and no one could pass by this three-wheeler without taking a good look. Talk about something you don’t see everyday and probably for damn good reasons. I don’t know about you, but I’d sure like to see this trike being ridden especially if there were a lot of monkeys behind the rider. Now that would be a dream come true.
