Okay, so I admit that I did a "Dumpster Dive"- and scored a 10 upon entry -
maybe.......if it turns out that Otis! can put a Techumseh 12 h.p. engine on it
with his newfound TIG skilz.

While strolling along, minding my own business going through other people's
garbage, I came across this damndest thing. :confused:

Is it a unicycle? Is it a Tricycle? Is it a Unicycle with training wheels? WTF?

Either way, it was strange-looking enough for me to rescue it out of the
neighbors trash and see if I could get it back into 'running' condition. The
chain is being soaked in tranny oil as we speak and I intend to get some
skateboard wheels to replace the ones that are locked up (corroded).

This just might turn out the be a distant relative of Guff's "Scooter of Death"
(which I have up and running, btw, Guff - tyvm!)

BTW, I've turned the seat around to the the way it SHOULD point - maybe
that's why it was frozen up and being tossed - they put the seat on
bass-ackward and the kid couldn't ride the thing! :retard:

Anyhow, get in line now for possible loads of fun to be had at next PoMoFo gathering! :cheers:

They call that maverick steering BTW!

Good luck Rick you're gonna need it, be sure your insurance is current!

The steering is done by leaning (pretty much like GT350 mentioned).
The skateboard wheel sub-assembly flexes (and rotates) relative to the main
'vertical' member.

I'm excited to get it going. I've already ordered my clown suit and am practicing
juggling my balls as we speak!

You did that before buying the tricycle.
