this actually made me laugh when i saw the pic, but hey... at least the guy got creative w/ the concept:

http://www.bike-on.com/classifieds/AdD01-107.htm

it's listed on the bike-on.com classifieds for $27k (yikes!), handmade:

"This Trike was built for a handicapped person. It features a 3.1 V-6 fuel injected Automatic Transmission Motor. It has a swivel bucket seat for easy on and off. There is a platform on the right side, shown in picture to hold a folding wheelchair. This trike has power brakes. Everything to drive it is at your finger tips. Just reinforced the the back end at a cost of $5000. The only thing left to do is cover the motor if you want to. She's very fast!!! $27,000 OBRO."

There's a place nearby in Ft. Collins CO that builds / modifies Harley Davidson's with a side-car (for the wc)and hand controls.

I met a guy last summer who was a C8-T1 riding one. With no helmet. Go figure.

Cool bike, about $25k, new.

I'll try and find the link.

Onward and Upward!

It looks like it would be nice cruising the highways, but the turning radius must be awful. No tight manuevers with this rig, I would guess.
