    I saw this over at Wired.com tonight...thought some folks may enjoy it. The original was built in 1909, and now the company is revisiting the design and re-releasing it to the public. Check it out!

    There's a few more pics at Wired, and it may not be everyone's cup of tea...but I thought it was pretty rad for what it is!

    Not bad, looks more like a mid 1930's trike and I guess you could get used to the roll bars. The originals had a throttle that was hand controled from the steering wheel, looks like ther corrected that setup. Thanks for the post.

    It's very cool, but looks like a 30's Morgan not a 1909... I would love to drive one!

    Those are cool cars. My Dad has a ''28 and a '33, The '33 has been in pieces since shorty after I first drove it in the late 70's and the '28 has been converted to a 4 wheel rear axle. It also runs a Harley panhead motor up front.
     
  9. love it typical morgan and still all hand built even after 100 yrs
     
  10. I personally would like to own a 3 wheeled Morgan. I don't recall seeing an old one like that with an exposed V-Twin. That's pretty cool. OT or not, and maybe it isn't OT at all just different. I sure wouldn't want to make that call and have everyone miss out on something as cool as that.
