FIRST? trike? I had a local gunsmith straighten my last bent axle..Originally Posted by jor593
A couple things I tell my visitors who want to ride.
NEVER put your foot down while rolling.
If you do, you'll only do it once.
Always a helmet.
Trikes are like a dirtbike with a built in kickstand.
Sometimes you'll turn the front wheel and it will go striaght.
They want to be 'ridden' as opposed to driven.
Go slow, get used to it. and you'll have a machine that will do anything
for years to come.
Snowstorms, and power outages, mud swamps and floods. Dragging trees and even cars
out of the way.
I simply cannot or would want to live without one (or 7).
Oh, and keep it sorta hidden.
They tend to multiply.

I believe Dirtcrasher straightens axles and fork tubes for members here. You might send him a PM and ask. Welcome to the forum!

You might be strong as an ox, but without a cart you are just a big dumb animal.

Welcome to the site! DrJoe has some good advice, I put my foot down ONCE. Lol I was going down a rocky path and thought it was going to tip, put my foot down, then saw ground sky ground sky ground sky.... Trike kept rolling down the trail until it slowed to a stop on its own. Thankfully many years have passed and many lessons have been learned. Hope you have a blast with your new obsession!

the only other things i have found damaged were the front break handle (which has already been replaced) and the front rack which for cost purposes im going with out for awhile. i found a 3wheeler junk yard about 30 minutes away from me that straitens axles for $20 so i am going to take it there and hope all goes well but its pretty bent.
