    Free Wheeler motor questions

    Hi All YaAll; I have not yet purchased a trike but have pretty much decided on a Free Wheeler . Several friends have Honda's and I admit they are tempting , but like the big glide model Harley's they just have too much stuff on them that I don't need or want. My last HD was a 2004 Road King...

    Any off road rider's ??

    I am wondering if any one rides their trike off road ? Not like a single track that a two wheeler can ride, but gravel roads, or those seldom ridden trails through the woods that the forestry service uses. I see trikes on the highway and in shows where everyone is busy polishing chrome ...

    RIP Col. Cole

    I'm what is often referred to as a "Cold War Vet " 1960-- 1967 Army. I try and sit down and talk with as many Vet's from any era as I can , I learn so much every time. The ranks are getting pretty thin from the folks from WW11 and Korea . God love them all.

    How many ??

    Just wondering if there has ever been a count of how many trikes are registered in the USA ?? Has there ever been a count of brands owned or registered eg: Honda , Harley Davidson , etc ?? I looked back at a couple years of threads in the General Discussion section but don't see anything.

    2002 K1200 / Hannigan

    An acquaintance has a K12 / Hannigan that he inherited from granddad. It's been setting for about 10 years, grand dad bought it on a whim and rode it sparingly, it is reported to have very low miles. I doubt from hearing about the machine that it was put away properly and most likely had the...
