Anyone ever drift with a trike ??? Would love to see a video of a Gold Wing or Harley trike sideways smoking the tires ... any suggestions to a link would make my day ...

Sounds like a cool idea, would suck if it grabbed traction while drifting sideways and turned turtle.
Why don't you start by doing a burning circle with your Wing. That would be easier than drifting a trike. I'll wait........

drifting a trike
I know what you are talking about. I have tried a little of it myself. not to the point of sliding side way. in a sharp turn like a 90 if you keep the gas on and grab the front brake, not to hard you can feel the back in come around a little, not tires sliding. I have not try it at high speeds. I was told how to do it and played with it a little. I don't think it is a good ideal to slide one to bad or at least I am not going to . bad things could happen ( best left to the Pros )

Yep.. The ATC's would do it on command especially on black top ' And that's why their no more...
I had 4, 2 were Big Red's... My Son's and I never got hurt on them ; But quite a few times when I let someone else ride one of them, ;''OUCH'':AGGHH:

Yes, I have....but, You better be really quick if it grabs side traction, and know to resist instinct to steer against it if it does.......
As long as you have slippage you're ok, But and that's a big But, If it suddenly gets traction hang on it could get hairy...

That takes a lot of power that either a HD or GW trike can produce to do it safely.
Wet roads would be easy but nor so sure it would be safe.
i want traction not sliding through a curve.
even my 125 HP @ 150 TQ trike will only try to throw you off. No traction loss at all.
I'll wait to see someone else posts a video.
