@48755003 No, I didn't see him there. I've seen him riding the bike around town before. It's really neat that he's able to get on a motorcycle, and that he took the time to build this. I'm glad it was at the show so other people can see it and be inspired to build something similar.
@bigduo99 I rode 10,000 miles on a Moto-Guzzi V1000 Convert, with the automatic transmission. Old Guzzis are great, and the only thing that went wrong with the bike was the transmission wanting to jump out of high and into low under acceleration. They didn't do a very good job designing the automatic tranny and put in too weak of a clutch, so people frequently had problems with it, but it made good power and cornered great. Sounded good too.
That's great. Did you meet the person that owned the Motorcycle?

Interesting but I don't think I'd ride in (on) it. :D

@RC62 Me either, right now, but if I were in a wheelchair, I'd build one of these out of a Hondamatic or Guzzimatic.
