This may be the first ever Trike with more seats than wheels!!!!!! Fuck man, if I had something like that I'd be forced to adopt some Ethernopians just to ride around with.

You and you etheopions could have the best seat in the house at a drive in......

Wife number one drives and the husband sits on the throne in the middle.

Utah looker, good concept but not plausible in reality. It is hard enough to find one trike lover skinny enough to fit in those seats, much less three...

Gibbs, you totally need this sticker for the deluxe!!!!

That is a complete slap in the face to all the hardcore trike builders, like Uzi and I, out there. It is people like you that get trikes banned from Vintage VW's shows and keep our movement down. I hope you rot in Stock Hell :twisted:

This thing was stealthy so I was never able to get a good picture:

I did manage to get a Patterson-esque quality video of it:

keep dreaming buddy,

aaw yeah! the flags and the geezer-pilot make this one slick trike. google images is a goldmine for these.

Nick and Uzi have specced out the basic trike concepts: skulls, camping box, aluminium checkerplate but can anyone give the definitive comparisons between the clean sparkly trikes and the true redneck iron? aside from the obvious. preferred donor bikes, fab techniques etc?

Kind of a cool Idea.

It kind of looks like a bike with no motor up there. some different wheels and such and it might be cool...and no gas!

I don't think I ever owned any stock VW, I guess I should have said "some" of them belong in the other thread. :lol:

Them trikes been around a while. I'll bust out the fresh shit once I upload my photos, hopefully this afternoon.

Lets see, how do I put this. The difference between a fiberglass, high class trike and the home depot special really boils down to the builder of the beast. Both are badass and require many of the same accessories, but it is all based on budget. If you've got the money to go out and get some 70's groove, then ladies gonna know you're a throw back. If you are one a budget, perhaps you've had 6 too many kids and a crack habit to feed, then you build that shit with tubing. Ladies also dig on this style because it shows you have skill and thriftyness.

I'm more of a fan of the fiberglass, not only because I'm a throwback, but also because it is better for the environment.

imo the windscreen spoils the look of this fine machine, makes the rider appear to be a pussy who shoulda stayed in his car

just become an obsessive trike spotter, gonna be hunting fiberglass all summer at the shows now :roll: 8)
