What was it you didn't like about the ride perspective of it Gary? Looks aside, I'm curious as to how you felt about that aspect of the trike.

Re: Not just another "Trike"...check this out!
What's everyones' opinion of the new Harley
Tri-Glide Ultra-Classic? I heard Lehman Trikes was contracted to design/build them for HD. Pricey little buggers but nice non-the-less. Reverse gear is "optional". Could you imagine pushing one of these beasts backward out of a parking spot? |

Lehamn has been the default builder for them a long time they just made it offical now. I do not think I have ever seen a trike that was not pricey Reverse is not a option in the real world. They look sharp well made but not form yet. Hoping to hold out on the trike a few more years. The ones that impress me are some of the sporty trikes I have seen

My Big Sister (she's 67 years young) rides a Suzuki 1800 Lehman conversion. It's got a Ford Pinto rear end in it I believe I remember her saying as Ronnie had to get a new gearset as it was geared WAY to high.

Re: Not just another "Trike"...check this out!
Wow, remembering the ol' Pinto...man-o-man, made me think way back in 1978 losing two co-workers in a rear end collision, they were stopping on an off ramp and following car hit them hard; was the toughest day at work I can remember...
![]() On a lighter note, I like the bike Smitty had on his post...it looked lighter, sportier & "all of one piece" (like a work of art). The standard HD version looks nice, but a bit too "bulky" & fenders look like an afterthought; the 2nd one just looks like an "add-on" which functionally probably works great, but visually...UGLY...even tarted up with all the lights & bling!

When I was a toddler, the first bicycle I rode had stabilisers too.
