Kerry McLean's monocycles have been a regular at World of Speed for a
while now. He run's 'em on the 130-Club course -- where I was
starter-for-a-day last fall, and got to not only start him in all three
that he had there (Buick V-6, snowmobile engine, small (two-cyl, I
think) four-stroke), but also sit in at least one. Cris Shearer's WoS
2003 video shows the "vehicles" a couple of times. He didn't get much
over 40 mph in any of them, I think -- but at least one is street-legal
and wears a Michigan license plate. He's got a website about 'em, too
-- don't remember the url right now.
