No luck, the engineer I called today stated every modification in the example I gave would need certification and that it could not be certified as safe.
Example: Allert Jacobs feet forward motorcycle
http://www.velomobiel.nl/allert/Recumbent%20motorbike.htm
Reasons stated for being unsafe;
1. The feet are up, how can you balance like that?
2. Motorcycles are not built like that.
He sounded doubtful about the concept of a feet forward motorcycle. Maybe it's too esoteric for Australia.
From this call I see a few courses of action.
-email a bunch of engineers and see if I get lucky.
-keep dreamin'
I'm jealous of what some Americans and British can build and get registered, this part of the world is a real nanny state.
