I saw one on these on "casualty save my life" on tv the other week. I think this might be the actual bike.
The one on the telly belonged to a biker who had collided with a car on a corner and lost his leg.

Saw this last year at the 'Wild Ox' bike night (Leics) it certainly looks well built and for a disabled rider might be good but otherwise a trike IMHO is a crap idea - all the bad points of a bike combined with all the bad points of a car and none of the good points of either.

They're good vehicles for being mechanically nutty just for the crack. You could build a Deltic-powered trike and make it sort of controllable, but a Deltic-powered bike would be kind of hard to ride, which is a pity.
