A (much) older friend of mine has just asked me where he might go to buy a trike.... it's that time of life for him Wink

And to be honest, I've no idea. He's just missed the local show by a couple of weeks and I can't think I've ever seen one in a dealers round here.

Only thing I could think was maybe clasifieds in BSH? Although probably not his style!

But I did tell him I knew where to ask..... so don't let me down guys Wink

To be fair, he's proper old. Looking to keep on riding in to your 60's and 70's isn't ghey! He's got an ear problem that gives him balance trouble, driving's fine but he misses riding Smile

I used to ride trikes, i loved them for the pose value Embarassed

The best girl puller I ever had short of a puppy or warped's appendage!

Fair enough Defblade, I would love to get my grandfather on one as he would be fucked riding a bike these days, he is an ex-instructor mind.

My Grandad just turned 79 and is still riding, though he stuck a sidecar on to the side of his R60 as I think he was having problems keeping it up when stopped.. (As the actress said to the bishop.)

Word of mouth, on forums, through BSH / 100% biker magazines...if you don't want to buy the mag, have a look through in WHSmith or something and write down the details. Thumbs Up

There are usually trikes for sale at bike rallies / shows.

https://www.trikeshop.co.uk/cgi-bin/tssalesview.pl

V-max looks good triked. Actually last year I knew two people selling trikes, and one person selling a decent side-car outfit. Today I know of none. Laughing

Trikeshop sells them and will do your donor bike from start to finish, there's also Carters I think their from Linc's way but both can be found on evil bay.
