Rare Sightings

I've seen pictures from the group before. Once. I thought it was a little strange, but figured if that was what you were into I wasn't going to say a thing. After all, no two people are completely alike. And I am sure that my choice of bikes isn't for everyone else out there either.

However, I finally had the opportunity to see this up close, with my own eyes.

Ladies and gentlemen...how often do you get to see a recumbent sport bike??

Yes people. This is a stock, factory manufactured motorbike. The Dan Gurney Alligator was Originally introduced in 2002, this is a single cylinder (modified Honda air-cooled 710cc engine) offering 70 hp, and weighing 320 pounds.

Such a unique design for those vertically challenged (as this owner was), offering an easy on/off and low center of gravity.

The second offering...is the brand new 2012 Night Rod Special...

We braved the 103 F temps (40C) to have lunch with our friend that just purchased this little beauty.

Note to bobskoot...aaahhhhh...the little "R" bike just purred down the roads. Took her out yesterday for a leisurely 200 miles to give her some luvin'. She replied in kind. :)

Addendum:  For Rogey, here is how one would sit in/on it:
