Re: jumping on the Meat Wagon
rode to stater bros which is roughly a 4 mile ride round trip. wasn't to bad except i noticed i forgot the nut to tighten the bearing cup on the crank, so i didnt get to ride backwards
. so to be completely honest, this trike defeated all purposes: it wasn't comfortable, it couldnt turn in a two lane road, it rattled and shook like a . . . well it shook bad, and made a noise i cant quite describe, and to top it all off i saw my ex girlfriend walking with her new boyfriend who looks like jesus, but it has dawned on me that the whole time, i was smiling and waving and it was fun. so i guess it did fulfill one thing.plus the homeless people think its awesome

Re: jumping on the Meat Wagon
Not sure if u grilled with it yet but I'm thinking the heat from the grill might melt the tire a bit, not sure though. If it does melt you could put in like a metal heat plate something like these muffler covers
or like heat shield from a car hood. Very cool bike I love the idea

Re: jumping on the Meat Wagon
If you did want to coast you could find a Schwinn front freewheeling crank,
I might have one if you need one. I wonder if a moped disk brake setup would tear up a crank disk......have one of those too.....Bring on the skid competition. :mrgreen:

009 by andrew snyder, on Flickr

010 by andrew snyder, on Flickr

011 by andrew snyder, on Flickr

025 by andrew snyder, on Flickr
coming down the street, there was enough of a slope to ride with no pedals. so i put my feet up and coasted. bad idea. when i put my feet back on the pedals i had to stop it somehow which almost landed me in a gutter.

Re: jumping on the Meat Wagon
so all in all it was a bust. the meat was gross, the fire relit itself on the way home, so we had smoke puring off the back of our trike. the chain came off the KRUSH bike twice, and it was hot outside. but we still had a damn good time! people around us were smiling. i got into a little tire mark competition. we went fast, and proobably got some rays. lost a bolt in the metal seat, and really didnt matter. but it was fun. and all be damned if were not going to do it again next month.
