A#212 (not)Solved: motorycle-car conversion "Simply unique"
« on: March 27, 2009, 09:27:00 AM »
About this monster I know almost nothing:

Just where and when it was shown, its possible name and the what transport means have been used to create it (name of them).

So one point for the possible name of it. One point for correctly naming what car and moto has been used.

Any information, pictures, details and etc. about this creation are very welcome!

Hmm... Pontiac Fiero + Harley-Davidson Ultra Glide?
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

It's your puzzle of course, but I don't think that it needs to be locked. The Pontiac Fiero part was no sorcery I think....

ImpishGrin has 24 hours to correctly pair Fiero with a motorcycle. Once this period is over the oppurtinities to get a point will be open for all again. I think it is right.

It was called Fiero Trike maybe...
The bike can be Honda also.

It may has been shown in different shows, but according to my source it isn't 1995.

Decide about motorcycle. Fiero was easy so for one point I want exact name of it.

And according to the same source it isn't Fiero trike..

Honda Goldwing.

I found another pic that shows enough detail of the front brake...

No caption with that pic that identifies it.
( only that whoever posted it was not impressed...)

Good question.. I think I shouldn't post it at all since it is not really a car.. Furthermore, I suppose that giving the name that I have is mission (almost) impossible..

I'll move it to solved soon..

Should I move it to solved? The reason is that it's not car in fact.. Just an odd conversion..

I am moving it to solved, because we have a puzzler awarded for this puzzle. The name I have for this oddity is "Simply unique".. Silly name :|
