Description: Rear fork modifications, extreme tube bending, DIY elastomeric vibration dampener motor mounts and a whole lot of trials and mistakes. Check out craigvetter.com if you're interested in high mileage motorcycles and trikes. Although Craig no longer has his annual economy competition, he did leave a lot of good stuff on his website. There were several enclosed trikes that competed as well as the dominant aerodynamic motorcycles. I wished I'd made a vehicle like this to compete in, not to win but make a point that you don't have to spend a fortune to make an economical single passenger road commuter, with room for four sacks of groceries, which was one of Craig's prerequisites to compete.
