A new buildoff thread?

[Oldbikeguy1960]

OK, now after seeing a wheelbarrow buildoff thread I felt it was time to bring this old girl out of the pile.
I started this about 8 years ago, and since have used the engine in trade to do an STD/S&S 124" Shovelhead bottom/STD Panhead top Softail chopper.
Here she was in all her former glory.

My 1951 Panhead 3 wheel dolly.

The original plan was to build rear wheel steering and use a solo seat mounted to half a single leaf spring for suspension. Larger drive wheels were also considered. Definitely ones that held air.

Headlights would've been inset in the bottom plate, now the front panel. Louvers would be cut in the panel for air circulation.
How many Harley guys would be pissed at rhis bike?
I am sure the cart was made in China.

Driving a forklift for a living I would love to see a rear wheel steering bike.

That is damme scary with an engine.

I have owned and operated 4 forklifts at my metal processing facility. The concept of a rear steer motorcycle is scary.
That is what makes life worth dying for.

A two wheeler would be impossible for me to ride with my limited skills. I honestly admit that I seem to be better at assembling these things than riding them.
A three or four wheeler would be totally enjoyable though.

Nice. I am a surgeon on a rear steer lift. Many hours operating the big ones in the warehouse. Like playing a real life video game, and getting paid!

Can you give a link to the wheelbarrow build thread?

So is this turning into an actual challenge of some sort?

I used to run one at a print shop that had a ball for steering. Man that was fun in an open area!

This was set to be a rear steer 3 wheeler.
I do not have enough spare parts to build another engine so it would have to be Pedal or maybe electric.
I suppose a 4 stroke Horizontal isn't out of the question.
