Mike's trike

Post by AR »

Hey 'Mikethestripe', I see Aldo has a pic of your bastard child trike on his fb album. Really interested in how it came together and what you thunk about the ride.

Hey Rob,

The Trike had so many unseen upgrades that it wood be hard to explain them all....But all I can say is that it was set up to roll @ high speed for freeway use, But still spin the tires effortlessly.

Extra fuel on board made the trike a plesure to travel without stoping constantly.....except for a cold one ! lololololol :D

If you would like more info and all the dirty little details please feel free to contact me @ 1.408.316.8761

That fairing kinda looks like a modified Bob Dron unit.

I like this, a lot. Spartan in the best sense, and built with a sense of style. Would it be permitted to ask what it would cost to build if a fully functional donor bike was supplied....? Thanks for any advice!

Hey Rene,

I see your wrist injury hasnt dampened your vocabulary. Really sorry to hear of your run of 'luck'. Having 2 bikes down at the same time on the opposite sides of the world, both none of your doing. Fuggin unbelievable really. :? Mikethestripe posted his phone number above...or is it an IP address not really sure. Either way you prolly better off contacting him direct for the history and how much $, dont think it all happened in one hit. Enquiries i've made locally for the custom semi naked style coversion range up to estimates of $20k'ish. At that price you got to question the value. Trikes rock though!
