Just rejoined the VW based trike family with a V-Cycle Roadhawk by the Trike Shop. We had a Runabout from '92 to '04, so we are not new to the VW trike scene, but this trike is a bit different than the older version. Sure to have some questions.

Nice RoadHawk. They had a much more refined body then the runabout.
 
Our first trike was a Trike Shop Runabout. It was common to see VW based trikes like the Trike Shop, Wilmac, Rupp and homebuilts then. A very rare Servicar once in a while and the conversions, mostly a few Trike Shop Ultimate and Lehmans were few and far between in '92. Now it is the opposite - conversions and factory trikes are the rule and rides like the Roadhawk garner a lot of attention at the gas stops.

I hear that, more than once we've just about caused a fender bender when someone was gawking at us rather than paying attention to where they were going.
