    Lets see some custom made trikes!

    I want to see your homemade trikes. Were talking dirtbike to trike conversions,quad to trike conversions,Drag bikes with crazy motors,engine swaps, anything different from what the big 4 was selling.Ive got dreams of buying a tubing bender and building a trike of my own from curent production machines kind of like a mutt if you will.

    This question leaves a lot of leeway here. Do you count trikes with aftermarket suspension kits? Tigers? Cagivas? Franks Racing? Husquavarnas? There were tons of trikes the big 4 weren't making, but used some of their parts. Then there were companies that converted over streetbikes and dirtbikes to 3 wheelers with a few simple parts. Then there were the aftermarket companies who would sell complete frames, but use engines from dirtbikes or streetbikes. I think more aftermarket conversions than homemade. And I'm sure they were a touch safer than some homemade trikes I've seen as well. Even though I've seen a few homemade trikes that have been mighty fine.

    Nice Hooter girls!!! When i use to travel every state east of the Mississippi my coworker & I use to rate each state hooter girls. GA,KY,Tenn & CT were always the hottest.

    In the mall of America MN they also have a Hooters on the 3rd floor. The best is they had a Pregnant Hooters girl and not like 3 months she was like 8 months. Now that was funny to see...

    I'm nearly afraid to post mine.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    you? I've owned plenty of trikes and just cause I don't own one right now doesn't mean I'm not trying to find another 350x to restore. You guys are just as bad as dirtbikers, who the hell cares what I ride or what you ride. I love trikes just as much as quads, I bought a quad so I can race/compete which is NOT something I can do on a 3-wheeler out here.
