Very nice Shane--now I'll have XMas wallpaper on my computer (saved the image)! Happy holidays Santa--hope you get some chrome for that Sled! hehe
BTW, does Santa have to wear a helmet?

That's NUTS! Does that engine really have enough power to spin those wheels at a comfortable level of power?

Wanna see it on video?
It's on the "Bikes of Sturgis" tape. Along with the "Star Trek Trike" and other classics.

I will NEVER say that the the Yamaha TW200 looks funny ever again!
That thing makes a BOSS HOSS look small! Where's the V-8 motor (or the huge Cummins inline-6 turbodiesel)?

I could just see Sam on that thing crossing thru the Burmuda Triangle and the US Coast Guard trying to figure out what the hell that thing is.

Well, let 'em search it all they want; they wouldn't find any herb on it!
And I'd make sure I get my visa before I set off.
But what would I do when I reach land and actually want to ride a motorcycle?

True. What's the average sustainable speed? About 5 mph? Looks like it would have pretty heavy steering.

I hope you didn't think I was insinuating anything there Sam. I just thought the CG would trip out on seeing something like that crossing the water. And once you reach land..where do you go on that behemoth? Anywhere it wants to.

No, the first thing the Coast Guard would do is shout a warning in Spanish or Creole over the P.A. system that I'm entering the U.S. illegally and to prepare to be boarded (if they can find a foot-hold!) They'd probably aim their 30 mm cannons at me, too...
Anywhere I want to... If I landed at Miami it'd probably take me three days to reach Ft. Lauderdale!

Actually Sam, there were several cards with Santa on a Gold Wing. Paul Oxman Publishing makes all kinds of Xmas cards on all kinds of bikes from touring, sport and dirt. There's also cards for Indy, NASCAR, snowmobiles, etc. I got three different ones. Click on the link to see all three (I made this page up after I posted the earlier one).
Three Xmas Cards
The other two are of Santa/Reindeer riding in a pack of Harleys, and Santa with an Indian.

I'll try.
Besides if I do give up, I'll just part it out. Too expensive to destroy like that, and besides, it might give a new lease on life to other TwinStars out there.
