Looks good Doug. but I would ride that Indian in a heart beat. Really sweet looking. Love the two tone paint.

I have never ridden a trike. Are there any advantages over the old school versions (rear 2 wheel) versus the CanAm versions (front 2 wheels) of the trikes ?
I like the look of the Indian, the color reminds me of some of the late 60's early 70's colors.
The most important things in life aren't things.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
I could not do the Indian.
The rear trike conversion looks over sized for the bike to me.

I used to build VW trikes back in the day.
I also rode the very first Can Am Spyder brought into the United States on a VIP test ride invite.
The two wheel in the rear trikes made the front end feel like it was pushing in turns.(didn't want to turn and would at times skip)
The Can Am, two wheels in the front, made you feel like it was going to eject you off of it in the turns.

There is a guy that visits the Rock Store in Malibu that built his own. It has a VW rear end, a corvair engine, a Harley front end and his own frame.
Here is a pic of me(26 years old) and my 1976 1835cc VW trike with a Root blower I built in 1976. Fiberglass body with 20 coats of lacquer paint, tube frame it has NO suspension. The front end is solid with no front brake and there is no rear suspension, it is all solid as a rock only suspension is the rubber in the tires. left foot clutch, gear shift by hand lower left side of frame just behind the fuel tank, One hell of a ride, I'd beat anyone on four wheels for a block.
The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

Not being a cowboy I just had to get rid of the original gun-slinger seat. Mr. Russell custom made one for both me and wife.
Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.
