Definitely in line with "Keeping Portland Weird." However, there's no way it will ever make it with the real biker crowd--simply because one can't do a wheelie with it. And braking at speed could also be a problem, wearing out the soles of the rider's boots at an alarming rate.

Real issue for catching on is no place to put your "biker babe". Or to pick up one on prowl.

It certainly has some applications we have yet to discover...I worked in some maintenance buildings that you could play baseball in...and you gotta have wheels to get around or spend the day walking....which isn't so bad either...but thing looks like fun..:p

Very cool. Another mark for good ole USA ingenuity. Great for Summer display of a well tattooed body, but a bit light on bumpers & fall protection. I wonder what OSHA or like organizations would think about it.

Very cool, thanks for sharing. My brother lives in Portland. He rides a Harley, I will ask him if he's seen it.

How about this one. Clearly not very stable or easy to maneuver. I would be afraid of "gerbiling" if you stopped too fast.
