Hummingbird Posted August 20, 2012 #1 Posted August 20, 2012 Pretty Interesting & only a few miles from me. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/mcy/3216256238.html
bongobobny Posted August 20, 2012 #2 Posted August 20, 2012 You can't even buy a triwing kit that cheap...
Eck Posted August 20, 2012 #3 Posted August 20, 2012 I just sent the links to Dragonrider....he may be interested
Hummingbird Posted August 20, 2012 Author #4 Posted August 20, 2012 If it were a 2nd gen, I'd be all over it. Been thinking about a trike btw - be happy to look at it if somebody needs a closer look. can't ride, not over the rotater cuff surgery yet
friesman Posted August 21, 2012 #6 Posted August 21, 2012 What a beautiful old beastie Might be a good one for an Aussie lass to buy, mod it, and leave over here to save on the shipping costs and hassles... Brian
bongobobny Posted August 21, 2012 #7 Posted August 21, 2012 There ya go!! Costs more than that to ship a trike back and forth just one time! I'm sure you could find a member who would be glad to "store" it and make sure it is running right...
Aussie Annie Posted August 22, 2012 #8 Posted August 22, 2012 Okay, good plan. Here is what I would have to do to it: Remove back brake pedal [for stiff leg] Dual link the brakes to lever on handlebars Floorboards [not pegs] Right one lowered if possible Foam piece to raise height of rider seat to angle stiff leg down [cover with sheepskin] Now....... is trike still available??????
Aussie Annie Posted August 22, 2012 #10 Posted August 22, 2012 It is interesting. For you..... or me?? You could buy it off me after the touring wouldn't take much for you to put it back to original again

The trike might be , but not sure about any mods, I wasnt sure what mods you had on your Harley trike. Brian
Yammer Dan Posted August 22, 2012 #12 Posted August 22, 2012 Annie I'm looking at Trikes a lot more lately. And not wanting one!!! I'm sure you know all about that. If I had had my cash with me in Henderson a few weeks ago..... Some of them really get my attention. That one at that price is something.
Yammer Dan Posted August 22, 2012 #13 Posted August 22, 2012 Would like to know miles and where Green, Ohio is....
bongobobny Posted August 22, 2012 #14 Posted August 22, 2012 Annie, those mods sound easy enough to do I'm sure!!
GAWildKat Posted August 22, 2012 #15 Posted August 22, 2012 Annie, those mods are similar to what I need if I get to the point of having my own trike, at some point we should talk lol.
Hummingbird Posted August 22, 2012 Author #16 Posted August 22, 2012 I emailed the owner - no response. If I had an address, I'd show up and take a looky. Yammer - Green is on Rt. 800 just North of Canton Ohio, about 20 minutes from me
Yammer Dan Posted August 23, 2012 #17 Posted August 23, 2012 Hasn't answered me. I'm twisting on the Warden's arm. But my entire being is screaming NO! NO! NO! But my body........
Yammer Dan Posted August 23, 2012 #18 Posted August 23, 2012 Lets see I think thats about 999 times I've looked at that thing....
Hummingbird Posted August 23, 2012 Author #19 Posted August 23, 2012 Just got an answer from the owner - gonna go look at it today. if it's half as nice in 'real time' as it is in the pics it'll be hard to walk away
Aussie Annie Posted August 23, 2012 #20 Posted August 23, 2012 Yammer Dan..... Get the dang trike!! :buttkick: Now ME, and the Warden done told ya
Hummingbird Posted August 23, 2012 Author #21 Posted August 23, 2012 Annie - you've got mail - lottsa stuff about the Trike should be about 11AM Friday for you
Aussie Annie Posted August 24, 2012 #22 Posted August 24, 2012 thanks Hummingbird. I think there would have to be too many mods for me to be able to ride it, so have passed on your info in a PM to Yammer Dan
BOO Posted August 24, 2012 #23 Posted August 24, 2012 My neighbor has this Trike for sale. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=4288 BOO
Yammer Dan Posted August 24, 2012 #24 Posted August 24, 2012 93 looks like it needs some TLC but could be a good one.
