Blastolene Brothers At It Again: The Rocket II Trike

We love the Blastolene Brothers’ sense of adventure and madness, it all translates very well into how they build hot rods. That is to say, their hot rods are better and more original than everyone else’s hot rods, a point we reinforced by awarding “Piss’d Off Pete,” their last creation Best In Show at the 2009 SEMA show in Las Vegas.

But what happens when you team up the Blastolene Brothers with an equally mad artist with the dream of building the most batshit tricycle in history? You get the Rocket II, a Blown-Hemi powered, center-hub steered, thousand horsepower bit of insane that’s somehow legal on US roads. Tim “Frogman” Cotterill stops by Jay Leno’s garage with a toy so crazy, Jay won’t even ride it.

Video after the jump.
