    These three-wheeled hybrids were built by the Japanese in 1934. Based on a Harley-Davidson VL motorcycle, they were used as commercial vehicles to haul goods. Some interesting photos of a few different models.

    Fascinating. You don't see three-wheeled Harleys over there nowadays pulling commercial duties.

    Did see this (maybe a great-great-grandson) the other day though:
