pat, wendy is in the pics with the pink on the coat. this was her first real time riding a trike and she looked like a natural. i was kinda a little selfish at first. ya cant blame me though, this thing is awesome.

[trizilla]

this is my lady riding it. kinda spotty and long but you can see it somewhat. thinkin were also stuck on the word awesome. enjoy!

That is a pretty cool trike. How does it ride and handle compared to an early 200x? Good job!!!!!!!!!

[trizilla]

thaks for the compliments Doug... not really sure on the handling yet, the forks need some fresh oil in them. the rear seems to be alright and its not as wheelie friendly as a 200x. i did accidentaly get a little air under it but not enough to judge the characteristics.

wow that turned out awesome, definately the coolest 185 iv'e ever seen, u should get a head light for it from like a 200x, 250r, or a 350x.

[trizilla]

thanks tri-moto man... a headlight is in the works. i want to mix it up though and do a # plate/headlight. i have some ideas but it will take some time.

I can tell you that they don't compare to a 200x. Less travel in the suspension and the front end is a tad heavier. They aren't meant to replace the 200x. This is what was out before a 200x. When these first ran around, there was no 200x's and they are a big stretch better than a hard tail. The hardtail frames are a bit heavy, but... it doesn't get any cooler. People will look and wonder what the heck you are riding, because it looks like nothing that is around any moore. And alot of these ended up with aftermarket fiberglass fenders and wacky paint jobs. They were the hot rods of their time. Of course, it all changed when the 200x came out. And about the same time these were hitting places, companies were starting to come out with the suspension hybrids. You have to remember before these suspension kits, most everything was hardtail. Imagine a hardtial powered cb750 trike or hardtail rd350 powered trike or even a hardtail 2 stroke 750 triple trike! They were mostly dune shooters though. When the suspension trikes started hitting, well pretty much anyone could ride them anywhere. Even on the East Coast. And people started buying them up. I'm glad you and Wendy are enjoying the trike. I have the other one if you are interested. LOL I'll have to bring mine up.
