WOW HAL, that sounds like it would be so cool! I too purchased the plans he made for the CC. I have been acquiring info to make something like that, a cross between the TREV and the CC but with a little V-twin Turbo charged Diesel motor! Probably somewhere around 20-25hp base V-twin and then add the little turbo. Unlike most folks, my commute it about 130' down my sidewalk. I manage the apts I live in so there is no need to commute. I do however make several trips in to the bank, post office etc each week which i have to do. Anyway, i'm working on a 1cyl Diesel motorcycle now to compete in the Craig Vetter High Mileage Challenge race that he sponsors a few times each year. He said he was planning on sponsoring one in the Inland Northwest for those that are interested in coming over and entering the challenge! There is an electric division, car division and a Motorcycle/Scooter and the final event of 2011 was won by a fully aerodynamic diesel motorcycle! Head to his site and check it out! Craig Vetter dot com. Enjoy and hope to see you guys at one of his events! Mike
