It's a couple of years since I sold my last trike, (hurry up & finish it Baychimp!), but that doesn't mean I don't get to thinking about another from time to time.
Saw this one on FaceBook earlier & really like it. Wonder how it handles?

I'm never happy with just one style ,must have at least 4 different versions buzzing round in head but they NEED to stay there! |

Looks good as it is to me Terry, (by the way, couldn't find your address, so couldn't send you a Christmas card -can you PM it to me when you get a chance please, for future reference).
I always liked trikes cos, unlike bikes & cars, there don't seem to be any rules on styling -nobody says You can't do that cos it's not the accepted trend. They've definitely evolved over the past decade or so though & more people are building them just cos they like them & not because they can't ride a 2 wheeler any more. Mind you, I still hear a few bikers trotting out the same ol' line: They're the worst of both Worlds. You get stuck in traffic like a car & stuck in the weather like a bike. Invariably, the guys who say that, (including a regular at Loony's workshop), have never ridden one.

This to a degree is true but riding a trike is so different to either a bike or car. You really can't compare the experience. |
