My trike

[Odie]

Well you all seem to have bikes and scooters, but no-one seems to ride trikes.
Thats not a problem, you just don't know what your missing, the wind in your hair, bugs in your teeth, the freedom of riding with-out a lid on etc.
It puts the fun back into riding having a trike, i know its not to every-ones liking but if we all rode the same thing life would be boring.

nice trike

anyone know what sort of price you can get a trike for, or where you can buy them?

[Odie]

Shes got a CX 650 engine in her (a lot better than the 500 ) she's good for about 105 mph, handles like shes on rails, yes she doe's wheelie, but you need a fat-so on the back!
and unfortunatlie she is for sale, got to sell her need the money.
They go from about £1,500 for a tatty un-registered car based one to over £15,000 for a hyabussa trike.
you can have her for £3,500

Could you post more pictures?

After bulldog bash I have really taken an attraction to them

I won't buy one, as I believe if you ever own one your really have to build your own.

It looks like a really nice one mate

Ahh the worst of both worlds, get stuck in traffic and get wet.

Not my thing but would be cool in the summer and the riding without a lid is sweet - though I find above 30mph I can't see due to my eyes streaming with water.

Slavo: i agree you should really build your own BUT some-times its easier to pick one up that is already done or an unfinished project.
You now have to contend with the M.S.V.A. regulations, which will make it harder for you to register a trike, also you need to know that your welding is up to parr because if its not, its not only your life your playing with but every-one else who is on the road when you are.
I have quite a few pictures of the trike in different states, i will have a look and see what i can dig up.

zaknafien: you can ride one legally at 17
The good looking woman on the trike is my good lady wife, some of us get all the luck

Hex: i assume that you have never ridden on a trike before.
I white line quite frequently.
So you don't go out on your bike when its wet?
Or do you take the car?
Your right about the eyes over 30mph, thats why i wear shades and so do most other trike riders

An after thought: any-one in the derby region ever fancy a go on the back (sorry but you cannot ride the trike as your insurance wont cover you) then let me know and i will see what i can arrange, if i haven't sold it!

Sorry i didn't get the joke, my apologies.

As for taking the car when its wet there is no excuse.
Other than keeping dry!

I am thinking about investing in a wet suit and flippers if this weather continues

So do you like my convertible?

Hey I used to be a total dry day only person, though I'm starting to ride more in the wet etc. Went up home the other week and was riding in half a foot deep water on motorways... that was fun.

Truth is I use my car more than the bike simply because of all the stuff I carry for work etc.

You call that a convertible... i call it more of a al fresco design.


Oh and if you get the flippers carefully they don't catch in the wheels or anything.

Hex: who is this "Al Fresco" ?
Is he a friend of "F-ck Nose"?
You are right cars do have their uses, but i have had trikes for the last 15+ years, you get used to the weather!

Trikes have always appealed to me, but I would never do away with my bikes in favour of one. Maybe as well though

odie, if you are ever down my neck of the woods (Wiltshire) with it, I'd certainly be up for a ride on the back
