Some people have creative minds but simply have too much time on their hands. Instead of inventing dependable voting machines, they come up with incredible entertainment items, like Danny Hyuhn does.

This front-track drive, rear-wheel-steer "thing" is the stuff of genius. I notice it uses the same vertical volute road wheels the early M4 Sherman tank had during WWII. I can't tell how they make the rear wheels steer, nor any of the details about the incredible "rider", except that his face is an air scoop from a small GMC supercharger which opens as his wrist cranks the throttle, and he's wearing cut-off camo shorts. Please ignore the working pistons in his chest ~ they only help balance him as he leans into turns.

I'm trying to picture Vinny, Surfer D and Gary T sharing a case of cheap French wine and coming up with something like this, only larger. :lol:

I love that the rider even makes up for the opposite turning forces.
French wine you say?…
I did just get a Honda XR 70 for my son. That would make a good platform for a RC version of this.
