You want raw power? Hammer-forged nastiness? The kind of machine-born apocalypse that looks like it was banned from the set of Mad Max for being too ridiculous?

Research

Forget that puny Harley-Davidson, sweetie. What you need is a trike with a Detroit Diesel V8 engine.

The only things we know about this machine are the things we can see from the video. But, really, it's a custom trike riding on three truck wheels with what looks to be an 8V-71engine smack in the middle. Oh, and it's breathing through open headers, zoomies style. Sheesh.

The only sightings of this crazy trike with a literal school bus engine we've found are on Richard Charles's YouTube channel. Did Richard build this crazy trike? Maybe? The only other video on there is from June of 2014, appearing to show a different V8 trike that was being offered for sale

Can you imagine what it would be like to open the throttle on this crazy thing? Hellish, probably, in the very best way.
