This Motorcycle Car Thing Has Outriggers Like a Boat

To quote the great Rick James, "Cocaine is a helluva drug," which is what I imagine was going on when this...vehicle was created way back in the 1980s. Honestly, it might've been the brainchild of a bender so epic, it'd put Mr. James' own reputation to shame, as drugs is the only answer I can come up with in regards to its creation. 

But in fact, what we have here is Owosso Motor Car Company Pulse Autocycle, and it looks like a mishmash of a bunch of different vehicles, including a submarine, a motorcycle, a catamaran, and a plane.  I mean, how would you describe it?

What's wild, however, is that this isn't the only one in existence. It's not some cooky, one-off, home-built machine of fantasy built by someone like John Delorean but without John's sense of restraint. And that's saying something if you know anything about John Delorean. No, the company mad a bunch of these things and then, presumably, sold them off to willing customers.
