This is my current ride. (I've been working on it for over two years)
I had hoped to have it on the road in time for the 2010 Top of
Texas Rally but didn't make it. I did get it on the road for the Waco 2010
Veteran's Day Parade. Click
here for
Parade Pictures. It has an "Ed Made" front end (if I have a flat, the spare will fit any of the three wheels), a Ford 6 cyl truck engine and a standard transmission.
Sold to buyer from Mississippi
This was my second trike. It has a '69 VW Pancake Engine, and it is an
Automatic. It has a Harley Wideglide front end and Boss Hog gas tanks.
Trailer is not for sale.

This is my first trike. It has a metal body on a Volkswagon rear-end.
It has a '68 beetle engine. It has a 750 Honda front end. We
trailered her to the BTW meet at the Berry Patch in Rapid City, SD in 2001.
On the way she caught fire (electrical wiring burned up). I noticed her headlight
was on and stopped, and smoke was just pouring out. I disconnected the battery,
while my wife and daughter poured Dr. Peppers (only liquid available) on
the flames. Boy was I disgusted. I spent the first day at the Berry Patch
rewiring her so she'd run. But she did run before the day was out.
I've built this three wheeler back in 1997. It now has an extended
front end, a stainless steel dash, a windshield, and it seats two (side by
side). I've mounted signal lights, emergency flashers, fog lights, and an
emergency brake. I also added a theft alarm (which burned up and I haven't
replaced). It has had a top it, but I got tired of it and took it back
off.
I went to my first ever trike-in at Sturgis in 1997. Since then
I've attend lots of bike rallys and trike rallys. So I made up an Event
listing page of all the places I've been and you can see pictures from
most of the events by clicking on the link. Click
here for the Event
listing.
In 2003 when we headed down to the Lone Star Rally in Galveston, a tire
blew on the trike. We had to go back home and get the trailor to take
the trike back home. We went on down anyway. In 2004 we tried again
and the trike made it. It was repainted right before we went. We
had a good time in spite of the fact it rained all day Saturday. In 2005
Hurricane Rita messed up our plans to attend the Rally. In 2006 we took the
new trike to Galveston. In 2007 we didn't go, and in 2008 Hurricane
Ike messed up our plans. We don't plan on going this year, maybe in
2010.

For refreshments in the Waco area stop by the Shade Tree on the I-35 access
road (south bound) just past the Lorena exit or if going north, try Papa
Joes on the access road just past Lorena. Papa Joes is where the Blue Knights
hold their monthly meetings.
I ran across a website that lists biker bars in all
the states. If you are traveling and want to know places to stop... visit
