Weird motorcycle invented by Italian Goventosa, photographed in 1931.

Takes the guesswork outta which brake to use.
A panic stop would be something to see.
He wouldn't need a rearview mirror to see what is behind him.

So what's the steering wheel for?

Ima guess it's to lean the seat relative to wheel center line.

This is a guy who builds some of this stuff. Interesting dude. Check out the V8 drag wheel and the Fabrications link on his site. I like the recumbent trike.
He's done some stuff for Ford to showcase their Ecoboost engine.

That's what a hard brake would do. Doubtful Wheeee would be heard..

On second thought....I don't want to see it. They crash hard!
Jump to about 2:50 for the crash.

Really? A V8? No suspension, not exactly Flickable, not gonna be a quick stopper, so, let's see how fast we can make it go..
Id hate to compete with a flipping donut with a five hundred pound block of engine in there with me.
At least he was dressed for it.

IDK why they didn't have a chase vehicle with the camera aboard.
It was inconsiderate of him to crash so far away. I hope they chastised him thoroughly at the Emergency Room.
