"Spotted this critter in an alleyway just as it's owner was walking up to it. He was just as amused that a westerner wanted to photograph it as I was by its oddity. My wife showed up just in time to perform translation work and the owner insisted on letting me get inside to try it out. There are lots of 3 wheeled enclosed motorcycles here, but they have a bare minimum functional enclosure typically involving canvas fabric and are not well sealed from the environment."

..Look for it at Pebble Beach in 2030?
