Trike of the Month October 2012

[Dr Death]

Now I've extricated my self from "The Garden Bar" ......For f*** sake Scotty beam me up.......It's time once again to subject our membership to the ancient ordeal of TOM.

I sat scratching my nether regions ten minutes ago and realised we needed a VOLKSWAGEN Month...........oh lordielordie I hear you say....

Never mind....out with the Tramadol and onward and upward we go....metaphoricaly speaking that is...

Trike No 1
Owned and run by Cyprus Trike
This is my pride and joy “KT”. It is a VW Trike made by WK Trikes in Germany. It has a 1973 1600cc engine and I have fitted a twin choke weber. Next job on her is to get all the fairing repainted, black again. She gets her name “KT” from the number plate.
One good thing here is a Trike does not require an MOT but on the down side it is insured as a bike and a bike with a 1600cc engine is not cheap. The biggest bonus is we normally have about 8-9 months of sun here so lots of riding her out and posing in tourist area.

I was 50 50 between 1 and 2 but the double seat won it for me as it saves me getting nagged at if I go out for a ride as her indoors can come with me.

i went cyprus , coz its hot were he comes from and must be a drag riding in all that glorious weather ,poor sod ,lol:respek:

[MIXA]

Hard choise as all 3 are realy nice rides but cyprus just piped the otheres , the seat design is what did it

[shadowryder]

I prefer the Minimalist look so its gotta be No#2 for me,more slimline and low down,
All are cracking machines but it pips the post for me,

JMHO.

[Willgofar]

3 nice trikes again DD. i think i will vote later when i've mulled them over.

[B9triker]

Bit of head scratching for me. But I've gone for No. 2 - Dans trike. Nice and minimal as Shadowryder puts it. Plus I'm comparing them with my Desperate Dan trike which is fairly minimalistish.

Sorry Cyprus Trike (an I'm jealous about your hot triking weather) and Mike.

[trailer trash]

all nice but number 2 for me

[DeathBySnuSnu]

Wooooo Hoooooo
A VW month,

Hmmmmmm....... 2
But all cool.
No losers here.

Number 2. A couple of personal ideas like raising the frotn of the tank up an inch or so and maybe 295 rear tyres and 10 inch wheels. Just my view but it is nice and tidy.
