We were in Yellowstone last week, and as we were walking toward Mammoth Hot Springs, out of the corner of my eye I noticed a strange 3-wheeled motorcycle in the parking lot. What first caught my attention (I was on the sidewalk on the front side of the bike), was that the back wheel looked like a Fiero factory rim. Why would I notice this? because I worked for GM back in the Fiero days, and I have a close association with the Fiero during prototype and production. I had been to the Fiero plant many times, as well as the GM proving grounds.
Anyway, upon further inspection, some guy took a Fiero, cut it in half, added a motorcycle front end, and voila, a 3-wheeled one of a kind 4-cylinder cruiser. Quite a scene. I didn't get to meet the dude, but the plate was from British Columbia - so at least you know it was reliable enough to drive! What fun.
BTW - since he cut it in half, he would have to put the gas tank somewhere else, because the Fiero's gas tank is normally located under the console, running longitudinally like a cigar under your right arm. I have no idea where he put it. Perhaps in the small trunk in the back?
