What other company's do what tpc does?

All 3 are production models that are identical?? Look at the point that the shrouds make, in relation to the tripple clamps... The top bike the shroud comes to the point below the lower tripple, The second bike is above the lower tripple. This indicates that the steering tube is in different location on each, And the last green bike the steering tube is clearly much further out than the other two. So much for identical models.

We are not a company, never said we were - we are just trike enthusiasts with active imaginations and descent fab skills - we do it for fun!!!!!

Look at the title of the thread... So i think the simple answer is HRE and TPC are the only COMPANY'S that make trikes!!

[atctim]

Yeah NOS, I guess you are right

Haha, your avatar says it all...

Look at the pics man...The first bike, has a fabricated fuel tank, and the shrouds have been cut at the back to match the cut rear plastics. The shrouds are down & back, probably to match the FABBED FUEL TANK... the green bike, its just the angle of the pic, looking DOWN on the bike, the rad shrouds don't hide the frame from THAT ANGLE. Please, LOOK... AGAIN.

Actually no its not at least not that i know of, If you havent noticed, i havent been on any site recently. Not postwhoring, Just straightening things out about TPC. If you havnet noticed i own and race one.

Your calling me a douche? Isnt that the pot calling the kettle black?

just a question, why doesnt tpc change the 450r dirt bikes into trikes?

A dirt bike frame is awful for a trike build for many reasons. Two real quick reasons would be they're too narrow and too tall.

Man, I know you are just trying to support Bill and his trikes but to come on here trashing Tim and his trikes to get your point across is juvenile. We all know you ride a TPC and that is great, they are a well built trike, but come on we should encourage all builders and not trash those taking the time to make a quality product.

[Mosh]

Guys. For the sake of everyone, just keep this thread to who makes what..Leave the BS off the board.

[fabiodriven]

Just remember, we're all on 3 wheels boys.

The question was "what other COMPANY'S" Tim admitted hes not a company and they jumped in the thread first. I also did not trash Tims bikes, i mainly stated differences between his bikes, and the difference between his custom build setup and TPC. I do support most people that build trikes, as long as the person building the bike is happy with the end result that is the most important thing. I will also admit and have before, I love the BANSHEE trike, I even told some people at pine lake i know i could win on that bike Im much more comfortable on a banshee than a 450. I would have beat Jackie with a banshee. Thats what i normally race is a banshee. I will also give them major credit with the ltr trike. I like that bike too.

[fabiodriven]

That Banshee is absolutely fantastic. I will agree that I'm a fan of almost all of the trike builds, but Trish really, really impressed me. Enough that I may need to look into one of those someday. The only thing is I don't have a lot of places up here where I could use it. Still though, my hat goes off to McKane for that build! Uber clean, sexy, and FAST!!!

I would have beat Jackie with a banshee.

Now-now, I think the coffee's getting to ya. Thats just out-of-line right there...build your Bula-bunner, we'll see it on the gate.
Then you can check your laptimes to those of record...then we'll see who's faster. In racing I find a put-up approch the best
and with you already winning the race on a dream build. Maybe I'll just bring the camera again this year, and leave the Z at home,
so I don't miss the shot.

[rcurtis16]

yeah i thought that at first, but what if they changed the shocks, wouldnt it lower it?, and yeah they are pretty narrow
