Love the outrigger . I wonder if the wheels on the main ride are milled to accommodate the lean. Pretty cool no matter how you ride it. Good one .

It’s his training wheel ! Be interesting to know what’s on that for a motor. Lawnmower, chainsaw, ….. be wicked with an inline 4 Ninja engine, lol .

Just look out for the locomotive? Does that mean you can hit the train anywhere else and it won't hurt a bit?

In 1883, prospectors discovered a rich vein of colemanite borax in the Calico Mountains. Pacific Coast Borax Company was formed, and a narrow-gauge railroad was built between Borate and Daggett. By 1904, the ore quality was declining, and operations ceased. The locomotives and rolling stock were abandoned until 1913, when they were used to build the Death Valley Railroad.
