Hi Guys
First post to retain my membership of this site.

On 3-wheels since 1982
Don't smoke, don't drink, don't play with bad women. But it's not all bad, I enjoy my trikes. Not sure how many in my garage, (yes, really!), but I'll try and list them:

Boss Hoss 502ci V8 Trike
Iron Horse 350ci V8 Trike
TVR 5,000cc V8 Trike
Honda NSX 3,000cc V8 Trike
Ford Pinto 1,600cc Auto Trike
ElectraGlide UltraClassic 95ci with Voyager Convertible Trike Kit
ElectraGlide 1,340cc with Voyager Convertible Trike Kit
VW LowRider 1,200cc Trike
Sportster 883cc with Voyager Convertible Trike Kit
Reliant Chopper 850cc Tike
TrikeTec 700cc Brabus-Tuned Turbo Smart Car Trike

there you go, looks like eleven. No wonder I can't move in my garage when you throw in a few bikes as well! Message here what you want to see and I'll post a pic. Why don't we start with the 'Daddy':

2000 Boss Hoss 502ci V8 Sierra Trike
Looks stock until you notice the huge 15" tread width Mickey Thompson Stickies and deep, deep dish alloys under the rear bodywork. Flowed head, valve work, hotter cam and new pistons boost power from stock ('sic') 502bhp to 600ish, before you then add in approx another 200bhp from the Dual Stage Wet Nitrous Oxide Kit with the Alloy Filler Bottle in the boot (trunk to my American bro's). You wouldn't believe an engine this size (8,200cc's) could rev so quickly! Sure surprised the guy on the Yamaha R1 who thought he was gonna show me the way down the big straight. LOL
Unfortunately it doesn't stop anywhere near as well. In fact it plain scares the bejesus outta me! Double LOL !

Nice Trailer Rosy. I've got an older Squire D18 Mk2 fibreglass trailer that I tow regularly. I bought it in bits and refurbed it a little bit, bearings etc, but haven't yet decided what colour to paint it, I had thought Black to pair with my UltraGlide Trike, but it'll probably be White to go with any/all of them because it's so useful. Piles of room with the weight way low down. If the box was a foot longer I could sleep in it.

But for sleeping I've also got a Little Guy Teardrop Camper (pic attached) I've used a few times for weekend races and rallies. My two rally buddies, Mo (Rewaco VW Trike) and Higgy (Boom VW Trike) self-made two very similar Teardrops coloured matched to their respective Metalflake Red and Royal Blue trikes. We make a very colourful (and patriotic ??) convoy.

Welcome BD. Quite the collection of trikes. Must take you hours every day to decide which one to ride. I've only flown over Irleland. It looks like nice riding down there.

That is a great trailer. I have packed it to the very top, can't tell you how much weight it had in it. In the same trip we took my wife's 100+ year old craddle from NH to DC for my son's first born, about a 12 hour ride. Pulls like a dream and you wouldn't know it was back there. I was going to give you the web site, but I think they either went out of business or sold the company.
I bet I had 250+ lbs in it. I bought it because my golf clubs fit nicely in it and I use it to go golfing during the summer.
I have seen the small camper before. Last summer there was one in Portsmouth, NH with a chap doing a cross crountry trip.
Snowing with about 6+" on the ground and more coming. Been out and cleaned once today and maybe will be back out there later. As I sit here typing I heard the large snowplow, plowing our street, I bet he left me a present at the end of the drive, but hey, he is keeping our roads clean!
