Just in case someone is curious. This past weekend on Saturday October 1, 2011 I took the bike out for its official first voyage. Its true I had riden it at shows but I really needed to put some miles on her. After working out all the bugs I took the bike to River Front Park in Chattanooga TN and rode 9 miles onthe bike trail. It is a paved walk and bike trail that follows the river and is a great ride. The only problem I had was that the trail at times is not clearly marked. In one of the rest areas I went through I got a little too close to a buiding and nicked the side car fender. Still have not had anyone in the side car as of yet but hope to soon. So the bike is a rider and not just a living room 3-D pohotograph. Thanks again for all the kind remarks.
Just got back into town after driving to Mt. Airy North Carolina to the bike show. I took tubcycle and had a great time. It was a great show with some very friendly people. I even brought home a 50's Western Flyer bicycle. I drove 5 hours to get there and was worth the trip and will do it again. Thanks to everyone at the show for the friendly hospitality!!! Also road 22 miles on the New River Trail in virginia on the bike I bought and it road great. Thanks again for a great show!
Did you say howdy to Aunt Bee and Opie?
I will be putting on a bcicycle show and swap meet in Cleveland TN. on March 24, 2012. This will be held at George R Stuart School on Keith Street just 100 yards from our beautiful bike and walk Greenway. Set up will be from 10 am to 12 noon show from 12 noon to 3 pm awars ceremony at 3 pm. All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. We are located only 15 minutes from Chattanooga off I-75. Cleveland has a lot of hotels for out of town enthusiast. I will have my bikes there for display only and will not be in the show. This is raising money for a worthy cause and promoting a great Hobby! Hope to see you there. I have also listed this in the event section of the Forum.
Bump- I saw this bike in either hot rod magazine or rat rod magazine at the book store. Should have taken a picture, but didn't get a chance. They were covering a car show called redneck something, and they included a pic of this.
That trike is a masterpiece. Well done.
Awesome Trikes , both of them :shock:
