Trike Thursday...The Himsl Brothers

This got kicked up on the JJ the other day. It seems the molds for the Himsl brothers trike body have been found. It appears they've been stored outside. Hopefully, they're not too racked from the sun.
If you don't know who Art and Mickey Himsl are, check them out. Art graduated from San Francicsco Art Institute and immediately hit the custom car/bike scene. They've won the AMBR, built countless show cars, and cranked out countless killer paint jobs. Art is still knocking out killer striping and paint today!

Don Ingles 750 Honda











This torsion bar suspended two wheeled terror is stable mate to Ness's "2Bad" and the rolling chassis that was on eGay last month. This whole torsion/center hub design was a collaboration between Arlen, Jim Davis, and Bob Munroe.
Don's bike is cool, but lacks the wow factor of "2Bad". The first time you see Arlen's bike it straight up kicks you in the balls, while Don's bike is much more docile. Art Himsl is credited with the paint. I would have cut him loose on this bike, as he's capable of so much more. Who knows, this bike may have been built on a tight deadline?
