I'm on the Virginia border and it's a 6 hour drive for me. I promise you won't be disappointed, you'll probably start kicking yourself for not attending earlier. If you need some inspiration, go check out the Trikefest section.....you'll thank us !!

Truer words have never been spoken.
Tristan (porkchop) and me were building these as a father/son thing with the culmination being to attend TF with what we built. After three years and many setbacks, it was three months from TF14 and I says "Man we need to cobble these things together and just show up to TF at least ONCE in our lives and cross it off the bucket list even if we never do it again.". Like closure for all the blood sweat and tears and money we threw at this hobby. So for the next 6 weeks, we put back half a paycheck each every payday for parts, van rental, gas, food, and supplies. We packed more spare parts than living necessities and enough salad to not give a damn that we were gonna sleep in the grass and just set out at 5am for Laurel. It was the first father/son only thing he and I had done in a very long time and he was just 19 and had never driven his own roadtrip....so I told him not to wreck our precious cargo and to go forth and find Haspin. He did it like a BOSS.
Within the very first day, Tristan says "this is our new thing me and you and I wanna come back every year."......long way from the first trike I taught him to ride when he was 7 and the 200S he got for his 9th birthday that he rode almost every nice day for 6 yrs before we bought three clapped out 200Xs
you wont regret it
I agree wholeheartedly with Eric and Ironchop. If you love trikes half as much as you appear to...........you really need to attend Trikefest. You will not regret it. I've said this before and I'll say it again. Going to TF is like going to a big family reunion with a family where everyone there is related by their love for 3wheelers. Words and pictures and even videos can't accurately describe it. You have to experience it.

Hey guys wanted to finish up the details on this bike. Should have done it already.
The following info is about the external aspect of the bike. It has a lot of aftermarket and custom work.
It is setting on a "Sprint" 3D Dickson Design & Development frame. It is longer and lower with more support gussets for strength.
Custom built front tripple with SL100 front fork tubes, polished front wheel hub and a Cibie Oscar light up front to light the way.
Bars are made of solid aluminum and are polished. The controles are all "CR" type with a Magura twist trottle and BAPP Groovy grips.
The tank and fenders are by "Brink" who painted numerous SOCAL custome bikes back in the day.

The seat cover is made of old school Mohair "Crushed Velvet Red"

Looks great Joseph Farrow!! I would love to go play in the dunes or shred an Mx track on that beauty!!
It has a super cool fuel shut off that allowed you top use your "reserve" and "on" feature from your fuel tank.
Cleated foot pegs.
Cancilla Chain Tensioner and HD rear axle.
Trick "Bull Schmitt" Rear disc brake set up.
Rims are all two piece wheels with something I have never seen......reinforcement plates like the stock set up.

And what Custom dune trike would be complete with out a Chrome six pack rack out the back. This one even sports a matching strap to hold the cooler in place.
I would again like to Thank the Duncans for allowing me to have this bike. It is a special piece of Early ATC History.
