Very nice design -- serious.

Peddle luge?

I love the smell of fossil fuel emissions and the whine of an internal combustion engine on a pristine morning.

i rode two other designs at IHPVA race back in the mid 90's

one was reverse (1ftr/2rr) lean to steer.. fwd...

the other uses no RTC... but handle bars attached to the 'truck' unit..
made by the guy who built the current fastest HPV

many leaning variations out there...

Yeah, I have seen a front single wheel, 3-wheel trike design that is commercially available and patented.

I have a rear single wheel, 3-wheel lean trike variant that I would like to build also. Very costly to have one custom built though.

Looks sketch. Put me on it and I'll probably burn my shoulders off

Have seen this one. This guy actually e-mailed me a link to his off-road vid. I don't like the fixed rear wheels. The force vectors at high speed could easily make those rear wheels fold like a lawn chair.
