I've seen some pretty crappy trikes, but that takes the cake.  :eek  :eek  :eek
I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

Must have a long drive shaft going back into the original car transmission.  Maybe uses long linkages into the car's gearbox, or just locked in one gear and uses the bike's gearbox.
Whatever, Frankenstein would be proud!
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Biggles, since the bike has no motor and the car is front wheel drive?? just linkages/extension of cables etc would be nearly all you want.  K's per litre would be interesting.  :think1
At my age " getting lucky" is remembering what I came in the room for ;)

Seeing as how it still uses the Neon engine for motive power, I would have thought that putting the bike wheel at the back and steering with front wheels would have been a better idea.   :whistle
Have seen a Subaru with bike wheel at back, but could not see a reason to cut up a car and bike to make something that was not as good as either original vehicle.
