Ah. yes, here's the pictures I was looking for. They have this embarassment stashed in a corner (they also have several early experamental airplanes that didn't work, I love that kind of stuff).
It's a 22' long, 6000 lb V 8 3 passenger motorcycle. The little training wheels raise up when you get to the right speed. The guy spent $20,000 on the project. He never got the front suspension geometry right. Supposedly the first time anybody ever put the horn button on the steering wheel, too.
My memory has probably exaggerated the numbers a little but not a lot.
