If you've been into trikes, you know that there are different styles. Some use a VW floorpan/engine, some like the 'Cobra' use a rectangular steel frame members and house usually a small-block Chevy V8, and then there are these, the Roth/Himsl frame/engines, much lighter and more graceful than the previously-mentioned ones.

The guy who now owns the molds for them is trying to sell some of the last sets of bodywork produced from them. These are a part of motorcycling history, and you don't get more-cool than Ed "Big Daddy" Roth.

I also like the "Globehopper," one of the last designs Roth made, and again, another trike. Looks kinda like a lowboy chopped, channeled '32 Ford roadster that got 'cyclopsed.'
