trikes?

trikes are for panzies in the chopper world. or just kiddies!!

whatever floats your boat i guess. i would get a v-twin engine, so you can have dual exhaust, then i would approve of it more... :bowned:
 
dude fiddlesticks you i am putting a 90 cc engine in it with an 8 speed and by the time i am done it will be street legal..oo and i think you should change your sig Woodie made someone else with tha same kind change his..and they arnt "panzies" in the chopper world..their is a custom fab garage here in town that specializes in choppers a trikes that is all you see around her and at the bars is custom trikes and poop...and lets see do you own a chopper or any kind of motor cycle?
 
Sounds like a fun project, we got a sandrail in the works in the neioghbors garag, and I have a couple of fiberglass dunebuggies, the dune buggies (scooby doo type) are growing weeds lol, but the sandrail is alive and moving forward...

If you can find an old Volkswagon engine, they are a pretty easy project, the rear transaxle hooks the the motor, all you need realy is a seat, and and the front of a motorcycle to weld on, and you are good to go.. let us know when you make some more progress.
 
well i am makeing the frame myself and and this week sometime i am going to a graveyard for this kind of poop and getting an atv axle gas tank,carb for motor,wheels and tires,and forks maybe and some other poop.. i will post opics when the building starts

Yeah this thread is gonna be worthless without pics. Sounds like a fun project. I don't know why these guys are busting your balls. Well fact is motorcycles aren't for everyone. I personally know I will never own one. Newayz good luck with it man.

btw i would like you to say that to the many members of the hells angles or the unknown bikers or any other bike clubs out there.
in the angles there is about 3% of them that have trikes.

Hey there nitroking

Sorry to see all these guys screwing with ya so hard, the trike project sounds cool keep us posted and get us some picks as you go along. Motorcycles are the way to go can't beat it in the warm weather I have a 2003 Yamaha Roadstar 1600 myself have been riding for many years, two wheels or three can't beat the wind in your face. So keep up with the project and don't let these negetive clowns get ya down.
 
i am waiting on my 25ft of metal and i am going to the junkyard on saturday hopefully i can strt this weekend and get pics up since the frame is a piece of cakle to weld together
 
Trikes are pretty cool. You see a bike every time you turn your head....
 
Not trying to crap on a thread here but for all the haters of Nitroking's project which is hella cool if you don't like don't comment. Go comment on something that you do like. Nitro king can't wait to see some pics of even raw progress.

ok here is a blatent dissregard to all members.not only is he a new member and not a productive one at that posting crap like this. rc freak you need to grow up. post your spam like crap in some other fourm. your going to find out pretty quick you won't be around here long if you do this again. this is not only to you but every on else that has this same attiude. if you guys don't like it than don't post at all. or do it in a way that does not offend others...................zandor
 
ok one question for all the trike and motor cycle haters how old are you and what do you drive/ride.... Yea i hope to have pics up thois weekend with my parts and poop butr i am getting pissed at my cousin since he used to work and a fab/metal building welder and he nknows a guy in the fab shop that can get it for free so hopefully i will have it this weekend and hopefully i have time since we are working on body workd and interior on a 65' belevadear and sanding down and painting a 88' bertta...so hopefully i can get some time to use the mig since that is what my dad is useing for the patches.....WILL HAVE PICS BY SUNDAY LATEST MONDAY

and plus if you got a welder, grinder,helmet,and metal anything can be done so yous wait and see...and i still what and answer to my question about How old are yous and what do you drive/ride?and it is funny the flamers only posted once and the positive poster posted more i think yous are the pussies you dont want to be shot down by other ppl
 
Just get off it, opinions are great, but ruining a post just to slam somones ideas is not what this forum is for.

I tryed earlier in this thread to make a positive statment to get the thread back on track.

Coming back to this thread just to state "Even Jessie James even is on my side see I'm right you suck" is not only immature, but just plain disrespectfull, and shows no regard for peoples feelings.

I don't know about the rest of the forum member's thoughts, but I'm not down with personal attacks for any reason.

Perhaps you have the wrong impression of this forum. We're all about being friends, helping each other out, getting a laugh here and there, and sharing knowledge.

Flaming members for unique ideas won't get you very far here.
 
Yeah RCFreak's posts are just crap, not cool flaming someone for an original idea or copied idea, frankly just leave it alone or only say something in resepect for what he is doing.
 
i know yous are all wiating for pics but i might have to hold off till maybe summer since my grandmom is in the hospital for ammonia and other poop and she can't live by herself so me and my dad need to put in adownstairs bathroom and a bedroom for her and put an addition on and other poop and my dad's one brother is being a butthead.I live on a fruit farm and my mommom own 1/3 my dads owns 1/3 and is one brother owns 1/3 and my dad is trying to get power of attorney for my mommom so he would hve 2/3 and his brother would have 1/3 and he can do what ever..so it is pretty hectic around here.so yous will just need to be cool and chill till i can get to the graveyard and poop to get parts which is hard at the moment since it is an hour away.RC Freak STFU wow you have a car did you ever drive a harley or a trike and big freaking deal jesse james saids the are for pussies id rather watch OCC anyway. And after we do the addition we are prolly building a 4bay garage which each bay can fit two cars front to back with room to work and a piant booth so we got alot going on plus the 65' Belvadeare we are trying to restore to put up on ebay.So i might be awhile.and plus i would of went on saturday but me and my dad had to go do a welding job for this guy around ten and we got there and we had to wait an hour for the cement truck to move then by the time we would of got home unhook the welding trailer and hooked up the big trailer for part we would opnly have an half hour to look.
