I like motorcycles almost as much as airplanes. What do use as a base for your machines?

Triker has so little time these days, Flurry. When he comes back around he will most probably chat with you regarding his beloved Trikes.

Hi Flurry,

Heres a fast explantion of my obsession, ...er, hobby!

Trike: A three wheel motorcycle built around an automobile V-8 engine, equipped with an auto-transmission and usually a 9" ford rear end. Often the front fork is a beefed up H.D. motorcycle unit, though for larger systems I build a custom rig. Equipped with a 22 gallon fuel cell and some care on the throttle, 35-40 MPG is possible for a working range of about 770-880 miles per tank for good commuter mileage. Oh yes, and on top is often found a loose nut at the controls!
