When I'd first read about the contraption in Cycle magazine (remember them?) I thought to myself, "Not even the government could be that stupid." Turns out I was wrong. They really did build it. I read where one of the DOT testers ended up breaking a collarbone trying to ride it.
I'd actually found a picture of the thing on the internet a few years ago. It was cobbled up from remnants of an RD350 if memory serves. Alas, they seem to have disappeared. I've been looking . . .
Cycle's gone? They used to be my favorite bike mag.
I saw the completed bike in some mag years ago. I would have tried to ride it (then). The one I saw had outriggers on it. I guess it was just too dangerous without them.

No pictures though.
