I dunno what you got there, but I couldn't open any of it.

[muddog]

all a waste of time i am already able to float my big red anyway

[big yeller]

its a pdf file it worked for me...thats pretty keewl but yeah you can float a three wheeler although a couple of times i sunk mine and of course it was way in the back of the woods and close to dark.

[code200k]

looks really bulky.prob designed for long river crossing and the such in mind

[dajeepman]

Looks cool cant see it doing anything with stock slick tires.. built with paddle tires i can see it moving pretty well on the water.

[Zach]

definitely an interesting idea though the first one looks so wide i dont see it being very useful unless you were somewhere the trails were 10ft wide.

[MonroeMike]

Interesting find.

Apparently they didn't catch on.

[harryredtrike]

pretty cool if you do lake crossings

[bigred44]

Neat idea. I would like to see one in action. Wonder how fast you could get her going.

[Louis Mielke]

dude, could you imagine one on a 500 with paddle tires. lol!!!

[riverrat]

Too funny!
I would give 50cents for the patent, just to say I own it.

[riverrat]

Omg turn on discovery hd right now

Why what is on? On a side note anyone watch the show onpickers history channel? They where at this old dudes house and he wouldn't sell anything. They opened this barn door and it looked like he had rear 3 wheelerer fenders from 1970's (3 total) in mint condition just stacked on top of a pile of junk. They walked by and where like OMG look at that oil can! I was like you dumb bastards, you just walked by gold! HAHA! Wife goes Babe! Did you see that!! I jumped staright out of my chair and ran to the screen and sure was. Problem is they moved on in the show and I was unable to get pics :( Seeing those I was half thinking they would pop out with an 87 X or R..lol

I am not sure the name of the show I was watching, but it was like a junkyard, or biker build off type show, and the battle was to build an amphibious motorcycle.
So one guy made a trike with a boat body, and an outdrive sticking out the back, and the other guy had a harley and you guessed it, pontoon floats, that looked just like the ones in the drawings.
The trike failed miserably. The pontoon floats kicked ass, and worked very well.
Wait I found a link:

HA you saw that too! That same old guy had a red atc 70 in one of them sheds. Those guy's didn't even notice the 3wheelers, and parts laying around.

[TrailerRider]

Dam I missed the 70 :( Yeah and they where all jazzed about scoring rusty oil cans and such....:crazy:

[Cro577]

I dont think we should judge, just because there gay and all, i would like to see that show..
