Default on the road

I started riding Harleys at 17 yrs old now at 69 yrs old after owning 26 Harleys over the years and chopping each one to some extent. my health caused me not to be able to ride 2 wheels but this Trike I hope will enable to ride for a lot of more years.......had the habit for 52 years, hard to stop now.

thanks for following my build DougnDog


A saying I have always liked

Lifes journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body.
But rather to skid in sideways totally worn out, Shouting

Holy S*** .....What a Ride !!!

Looking good and it should keep you in the wind. Just remember that you're wide now so keep it in the middle of the lane, keep your feet up, and enjoy the ride. Three wheels ain't a bad thing to have.

Well been couple of weeks, a long difficult time. my daughter who fought cancer 5 years ago just found out its come back in her liver. asking for prayer and good thought from you all.
made a few changes to the trike modified the rockers to improve handling, waiting for a new front brake. took it to a biker bash yesterday and it ran great, and no trouble from my worn out legs so it looks like I'll be in the wind for a lot more years.

Went on my maiden run yesterday with my son in law and one of my sons. boy the trike gets a lot of looks from other riders. half to say that always feels good when you roll a project out for the first time.
