Truly useful

 

Dodge Tomahawk

Yeah, I think they made about 10 or so on special order a few years ago when they introduced it at the auto shows.

 

...not real useful though. But it is an interesting engineering excercise. It would have been fun to work on

The guy who designed it rides a Moto Guzzi Sport 1100.

Interesting to say the least!!!

 

But what most people don't know it that one of the designers rides a Guzzi.

Saw a documentary about the Tomahawk and they filmed this guy riding in on it.

 

Way COOL.

More evidence that Carl Allison is not like most people.

(don't you love it when someone posts while you are still composing)

Obviously, that bike is not going to out handle a Guzzi, and it would be no fun in a parking lot or going around 5MPH turns, but I wonder if it could out-handle a chopper on a twisty fast road

I saw this thing at Sears Point last year during an AMA race. They started it up a few times during the weekend, sounded like an Audi with a serious exhaust leak. Apparently the fellow riding this thing is former AMA flat track champ Scotty Parker, a rider of superior skill compared to us mortals. Even he could only ride the thing a few yards before the torque of the engine flopped it over.

An interesting concept, but a concept just the same.
