[QUOTE="beemerdons, post: 913685, member: 4296"] Actually, the first motorcycle on record had four wheels; acknowledged by both the American Motorcyclist Association and International Federation of Motorcyclists! From both of their web sites: [I]Gottlieb Daimler (who later teamed up with Karl Benz to form the Daimler-Benz Corporation) is credited with building the first motorcycle in 1885, one wheel in the front and one in the back, although it had a smaller spring-loaded outrigger wheel on each side. It was constructed mostly of wood, with the wheels being of the iron-banded wooden-spoked wagon-type, definitely a "bone-crusher" chassis.[/I] [/QUOTE]
