      If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.

        if it handles anything like a real Morgan then its a real blast to ride/drive...this is a pretty good fabrication...not a chop job like I have seen some others...still I have to wonder what state the donor xs11 was in beforehand...

            Not sure what it is, but something about this 3-wheeler appeals to me ...

            Looks like it would be fun to drive ...

              I was thinking the same thing, Ben ...

              I better not think about it too much, though ... it'll drive me crazy.

                  I was actually wondering about the original bike too... but then, I figured... probably better not to think about it. lol

                    I don't think it should be buried. I think it's absolutely cool, and the XS lives on. Looks like original headers too! I'd love to drive it and see how much power is lost, if any. Hell, I'd love to meet the guy and see what else he could build with a more modern bike engine.

                      Sure not something you see everyday. 3-wheelers are often easier to title for custom-built jobs or is it still titled as an XS11? Integrate the OEM VIN part of the frame into your custom job and - Viola - a 3-wheeled XS11.

                        Just guessing that this is titled as a 3 wheeled vehicle
