A car, a bike, a plane all rolled into one

It's wet and nasty outside, so I find myself surfing Ebay, and stumbled on this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1986-...item5639410e18

It's something you don't see every day. Honda reliability, weather protection and that certain something you only get from exclusivity.

I love the net, so much weirdness

Extra Motorcycle: Is it really ever extra..
I like it....it is very cool..but it needs a bigger engine perhaps the Rocket 2300cc 3 inline would be perfect. Maybe we could get triumph to come out with their version of it.

I wonder if it has AC or heat? Most likely just an air vent....

Brilliant! I thought thunderbird 4 at first, but thunderbird 1 is closer!

Yeah. There is a look of T4 to it too. But I think it's more T1.

Not hard to see which TV show the designer watched as a kid. Is it? (or us, for that matter)

I used to feel sorry for that poor bugga on Thunderbird 5 for months at a time while everyone else was hanging at the Tracy pool.
