I have talked with his son via email. Howdy and Billy have talked with him alot more than me, but that was a few years ago. He teaches school now and is very busy with that. Here is a part of the email he sent me...

"I haven't been on 3wheelerworld.com in a while. I need to check out the
forum. We had a bike shop called Tricky Dick's in Shelbina, MO. We
specialized in converting dirt bikes in three wheelers. I would have
all the information someone needed on the Cagiva and Husky three
wheeler(I assembled/prepped most of them). The Husky pic I sent is the
rarest because we only made one. We shipped is to the headquarters in
Sweden and they wanted us to start making three wheelers for them. But
then the three wheeler ban came out and whole thing came to an end. I
had the very first Cagiva because we converted one so I could race the
200 and 250 class. It would blow away most 250R and Tecate's. So it
became very popular in the 200 class against 200x's and sleeved 250's.
It didn't handle as well as the factory machines but it was very fast.
My first conversion was my Honda CR80 that I raced in the 110 class.
Those races usually weren't even close.

Unfortunately, I don't have any of my bikes anymore. I would have never
thought they would have such a following 22 years later."

That was last July, I'll try to contact him again.
