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!

There's one in my area of New York.
It's kinda a maroonish red.
Seen some crazy guy and his girl riding it.
Lotsa chrome, to my eyes.

Nice. I especially like the seat cover section.
