Why???? That thing is ridiculous.

Yes, that is a Valkyrie... from the bars back. I keep going back to the pic, can not, for the life of me, figure out why he built it with 4 front wheels! Designing, building and tuning the steering linkage would take months to do. You would need the front-front pair of wheels to ascribe a slightly bigger arch than the front-rear wheels, at any turning point.
Wonder what his inspiration was? Terrell 6-wheeler?

If so, what poor, weird execution. All that sub-frame for the front suspension is probably needed to solididly locate the front wheels, but it's a shame he didn't build some sort of box there, so at least he got some cargo space.
Why, why, why, why, why?"Stevie B" Boudreaux

Personally I think it's cool. Never seen something like it before, points for originality. Bet it handles pretty well, points for safety.Foolish men search the earth for worldly masters, not realizing that their own mind is the master.Comment

He has apparently achieved his goal:
Make everyone talk about it.
I think it is pretty neat. And you really have to respect the engineering that has gone into it. I would like to see the finished project. I can't believe that is completed.SUPPORT YOUR FORUM: Buy a KR decal!Originally posted by Nero
