Title: Re: period trike Post by: the coppersmith on September 29, 2018, 08:12:16 PM I love Corvair engines
Title: Re: period trike Post by: stinkey on September 30, 2018, 06:20:51 AM I always found it strange reading Streetchopper Magazine ..all these straight laced looking guys building and riding the coolest outrageous machines ? Much preferred Easyrider mag..I wonder if that trike still exists ?
Title: Re: period trike Post by: minimutly on September 30, 2018, 06:02:28 PM Might look good but I bet it rides like a nightmare.
Were all different but looks alone don't do it for me - pootling allong and remembering my trike doesn't corner, just as I'm turning in is no fun. :-\ Title: Re: period trike Post by: Olds on September 30, 2018, 06:38:52 PM .I wonder if that trike still exists ? It's the 1968 AEE Corvair trike and as of about 2015 it still existed. Vaguely remember this, as I saw a pic of the chain drive transmission while thinking about an air cooled VW engine trike with the engine mounted in a similar fashion.Title: Re: period trike Post by: stinkey on September 30, 2018, 06:52:54 PM Might look good but I bet it rides like a nightmare. have you not altered your rake/trail ?Were all different but looks alone don't do it for me - pootling allong and remembering my trike doesn't corner, just as I'm turning in is no fun. :-\ And Olds I love the front engined VW trikes :D Title: Re: period trike Post by: minimutly on October 01, 2018, 04:30:25 PM Rake and trail neither here nor there if it just tips over..
Would keep your feet warm while doing it though? Title: Re: period trike Post by: stinkey on October 01, 2018, 04:36:42 PM Sounds like you need to lower it methinks ?
