    im with mymint 87 its more of a bike than a trike. i think of trikes as being more offroad, than just street machines. but the craftsmanship is great, it looks like it will burn em for hours.

    Very good fabrication, that's not bubbatech. I'll bet every chick in the state would want to ride on the back. Good job.

    hey do you have progress pics? it would be cool to see them. i think that we should all look beyond the classification of the bike and appeciate the workmanship and imagination it took to put that together. i think it would have been better accepted if the rear would have two wheels and left the front stock. this design looks more stable goin downhill at an angle.

    Dang, MyMint, let us know how you *really* feel ! LOL

    I like the construction, very nice craftsmanship, Kudos seney2 !

    It's funny, though in that it takes the least valuable aspects of each type of machine, i.e. the poor traction of the street bike with the unsprung weight of the quads' front end.

    It looks like it would look really cool doing a wheelie at like 80 mph, then you could steer using the tires like rudders.

    Or, you could make a fat swingarm and put a 11x18" tire on the rear.........

    Good Job!

    I like it because it took some skill to make it and it looks to have been build right but I highly doubt you'd go anywhere in sand or snow with it. Your pushing way too much weight on the front with that narrow rear tire. I doubt it's any good for wheelies either but as said before, I bet it's a chick magnet.
