Default Frogman's Trike - Jay Leno's Garage
This is from Jay Leno's Garage. I have collected this guy's frogs in the past and knew he had some trikes, but this one is a beast.

http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/...trike/1233750/

Edit:

I found another video, some of it is in parody but some POV in there is cool.

http://www.streetfire.net/video/frog...ke_2012550.htm

This is from a comment on the board of the video on Jalopnik...

the guy who said he machined the front wheel...

That is the weight of the raw material prior to machining I believe

Correct. 10 days to machine it down. Crazy amount of machining to make a wheel that big and that specific for the trike. Amazing. Thanks for linking the vid!
