It's a bird...it's a plane...NO! It's supertrike!
Tom Daniel must have had his eye up in the sky when he dreamed up this
far-out machine. This winged rammer sucks its power from a big "8" mounted
behind the pilot's pit. The mean mill sports a big air intake on top and
eight headers busting out if its sides.
It's fed by two drop fuel tanks under the wings. Blowing
off the competition is a breeze with the chromed, 4-blade propeller. And
the prop rotates when the trike is pushed! Forward of the front wings
are raked-out, moveable forks, mounted with a square-beam headlight. The
chrome reverse rear wheels are covered with super fat racing slicks.
The dude jockeying this scoot is decked out in some
bad airman threads. He leans easy in the hi-rise seat. As he grips the
strung-out bars with one hand, he gives the "thumbs-up" sign with the
other...meaning A.O.K. For sure, this model really is.
