[phroenips]

[pjm204]

saw one that was a trike a few weeks ago, rear end looked like an old t-bird or something...

One of these entered into (I think) the 05 or 07 IBR - and DNF'd. Seems the rider overslept one morning and was time barred.

Saw a husband and wife a couple years ago, he on a bike, she on a trike. 2 speed Powerglide tranny w/reverse as I recall. One of those 2 speeds is probably redundant, IMHO.

Their factory is just about an hour north of here.

I used to go past it once a week for work.

I was up there one week when they were having a big rally.

They were all over town.

Some had really fantastic paint jobs.

It's the only bike I've ever seen that looks like it makes more sense as a trike than a bike.

The trike puts a lot more rubber on the road and neither one is going to be much of a corner carver.

I actually test rode one of those at Daytona Bikeweek a few years back. A friend & I were up there and were walking by, there was no line, and thought "why not?".

I was surprised, it rode much better than I thought it would. Even tho it's heavy as heck, you didn't notice so much when riding IMO. The main thing I remember that I did not like was the heat off the engine; it flat cooked my legs/thigh, and the weather out was relatively cool as I recall. I can't imagine riding it in the summer.

I don't expect ever having one in my garage unless I somehow get one killer deal used unexpectedly; and even then, I think I would only want it long enough to ride it abit, then turn it back over. I don't know what the gas mileage is on these (I'm thinking 20-25), but I "guess" that you could make it a decent LD freeway runner, not sure. I just know that it won't be me to figure that out...
