Saw that on my FB page this morning. Thought it was pretty cool. That cab looks pretty small though.
Notice the front wheel is a wide five rim? Looks like complete brake system to.

I've seen the bike before at the Flanders show, but the side car is a new addition.

Any clues as to the transmission configuration?

It was at the show a few years ago, so my memory is a bit foggy about it. I did a search of the Flanders photos here, and didn't see any of it. I do recall that it was made almost entirely from bug mechanicals, you can see that with the wheels and brakes.

I love it! It is very cool......
Not a fan of shortys or other butchered busses but this is way out there and very different. Top marks for ingenuity.

That thing is sweet, the builder is quite the craftsman.

I can't believe how perfect the miniaturized parts are like door tops, sliders, doors, gutter, all of it. |

| Seeing pics of this motorcycle and the owner go around on facebook now. Maybe someone can paste a link to it, I'm not smart enough. |
