    Here is the Picture of the trike I built for the wife three years ago.

    2000 Valk Interstate built it myself in our shop at home.

    I saw one late last summer when we got back to our hotel after a days ride in southwest Iowa. It was on a trailer with another trike (which was built from a Softail Deluxe) and I only had the lights from the parking lot but it looked well built. Like a miniature 3 wheel mustang. Might be fun if you couldnt ride a scooter because of a handicap or something like that, otherwise I didnt see the point. Rather just drive my old ragtop Plymouth.
    Ya know, car or bike? Make a choice. Seen ads in AutoWeek for them lately and they aint cheep either!

    Never was a big fan of the trike so Im not real impressed with that thing either....What I was wondering though is why it has heat & air-conditioning ?? Its an open cab !! whatever.
