the gator bike
you guys have probably seen these at hells kitchen and the ortega.
i went to the gurney shop (allamericanracers.com) a coupla years ago and rode one of these. this was the first production with the honda single at around 70hp. low center of gravity = extreme handling. we were taking 90 turns at top speed (don't know how fast, but much faster than anything else i've ridden) and just flying through them. they may not be much to look at, and i don't know how they are for touring, but damn it was fun - i wish i had bought one back then. he's making new ones with an s&s 111 evo-style.

surprisingly comfortable. the only thing is you can't let your feet slip off the pegs, lest you risk losing a leg ... but they make them custom fit for each customer.

This is the first photo showing the S & S powered Gator with a 111 cubic inch EVO/twin cam style engine. 3 prototypes of this configuration are presently under construction, 2 of which will have S & S 124 cubic inch engines. Three different bodywork versions are being designed right now. The bikes have rubber mounted engines with 6 speed gearboxes and belt drive. Weight: 226 kg, 60" wheelbase and 5 US gallon fuel capacity and S & S fuel injection.
Photo shows a partially finished Alligator S & S prototype on its own two wheels for the first time
