Which part of California are you in XL? We don't get many mountain roads here in Guildford. Brock was in Bakersfield for the drag racing back in March.

By coincidence, I'm just east of Bakersfield in the mountains. It's secluded, more like remote, no real name for the place, except home.

I have no idea where I got the pic from, sorry! It could possibly even be a corbin? I think it may have come from a random image search on google.
It would be great to see something like that built though!

Yeah, gotta be one wild ride! The Corbin I saw was a bright yellow Can-Am Spyder a few days ago, looked really nice. Their front wheels are much closer together, but I prefer this wide set design you posted, more stable, plus the black one has a lower seating than Can-Am's.

I LIKE it Triker Pete! Something similar in single seater would do fine, or some kind of convertable from single to dual as the need arose. Now if I can loot Corbin's for a schematic...
They also have another bike type with 2 front wheels close together at the link I posted.
But thanks, that clearly answers the question: YES it WILL work! Decided I'm going to build a 'normal' 1 front/2 rear trike first then pursue the more radical 2 front/1 rear right after that. Already sketched out the first one and have most of the parts.
Thanks again!
