In a moment of recollection I took our trailer back to storage today. So one of the photos taken over the past few days will be the last gasp so to speak. The build is done, medium rare. Thought I’d post a few detail shots to wrap this up...I’ll try to post in the finished thread forum in the next day or two.
I appreciate the 13K views over the last few months as well as the comments, suggestions, criticisms and good will generated. Some final details...
In closing

Dude this bike is an engineering marvel! The amount of fab, considerations, and geometry needed to make this thing function is beyond impressive. I honestly would have like to have seen this bike go class 2. You managed to keep that frame stock which is a feat in itself, but the amount of "bolt on" frame work that was needed to hold this beast feels like the spirit of class 2 to me. With that said I personally would consider it a front runner in class 2 in my opinion, based on the engineering required to make this thing happen. Either way, this bike is one for the ages!

I don't know why, but I keep hearing the sounds from an old hit-and-miss engine in my head when watching TrikeTor go by.

Thanks! We did two takes and went with the second one. Wish I would have done some video in one of the level parking lots when I was shooting stills.
Hey thanks, speech, speech!
Appreciate your praise!

Stable if you avoid cross slopes like most trikes. Since the turn was on the down slope it wants to lean with the grade. I didn’t want to record a sideO in the turn. The turning radius takes some space, the street is tight.
On Facebook marketplace you see a lot adult trikes for sale with low mileage. My older neighbor asked me why hers pulled to right when she tried to ride down street. You tend to lean with trikes or you have to make an effort to keep yourself 90 degrees upright...geometry vs gravity. Trikes could use a pivot point for more versatility in keeping the seat level.

RIDE VIDEO!! You just went up 3 pts on the OddJob Scale!
I just saw this now on Friday morning. It's funny, @kingfish254 and I took a 'still shot' from almost the exact same spot in the video.
As far as what was going on in the back of my head watching this, I heard this music going on......

Looking back to late 70’s or so my second rat rod bike build and my number 2 son. Thanks to my daughter- in-law for the photo.
And my first rat rod bike build from 50’s. It was painted with a brush including the white walls. Photo of photo by me.
And my most recent rat rod...Trike-Tor. I’ve been at this for a while.

Nice idea and I like the sound of that.
