    Pop's Big Red

    In 1982 my Dad bought this Big Red 200E. Over the years this trike has been used a lot. It was Pop's primary mode of transportation around the property. In July of 2015 Pop passed away at the age of 87. I took his "scooter" as he called it and rebuilt it as a tribute to him. Thanks to you guys for a tremendous amount of technical drawings and advice. Hope you enjoy the pics.

    Nice job on your Pop's trike. I also lost my Dad (12/17/15) at the age of 86. I always looked after his bikes, and inherited his Sportster while he was still alive to see me enjoy it. He said it was "A little something to remember me by." So heartbroken that I don't even know if I will ride it this year, but I will NEVER sell it. Very sorry for your loss, but try to enjoy the good things that you still have during this earthly existence.

    Is that a homemade brush guard hooked to the headlight and out to the handlebar ends ? looks cool.
