Did you make that Starwalt?  :P

I actually really like it; I'd paint it and clean it up a little, but I think it is pretty cool for the most part.  :thumb:

Looks fun.

Nope. I would have never thought of something like that.

Here is my idea of a trike. I'm collecting parts for it now and trying to clean crap out of my shop to start it. It will be after the GS rebuild and after the Ezuki project.

:o

Looks a tad scary if you ask me...

To be a real trike it needs suspension linkages to allow it to lean.  If you've ever ridden a 3-wheeler atv you know precisely why.  Very very very easy to roll.   :o
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

ive riddien on trikes like this, its NOT stable in anything other then a straight line or 5mph turns.   Being a solid ATC 3wheeler AXLE it will chew through tires and snap lugs as the street tires will put too much stress on a hub thats ment for tires that slip.
Accelerate like your being chased, Corner like you mean it, Brake as if you life depends on it.
Ride Hard...or go home.

Its you Vs the pavement.....who wins today?

I think you should do this to YOUR bike, starwalt, and then paint it purple!  :thumb:  :mrgreen:

I'll make you a deal Pandy. I'll do the Vortex in a Plumb color and drive it to CA and give you a ride.
How cool would that be?
Maybe it would inspire someone to prose...

When it comes to the 90 rebuild, RED is the word.

Purple is for special situations.  8)

It occurs to me that BOTH bikes I now own are red, my '90 GS ratbike and my '06 SV650S...purple truly is for special occasions for me now. :(  :mrgreen:

Ok...now I start waiting for my plum Vortex ride!  :thumb:  ;)

What he means by all that Pandy, is that if you show him your boobs, he will make it purple-ish. He is just too much of a gentleman to say it.

And I am too much of an ass to pass up saying it.  :P

If it stays so low, it might be worth buying as a parts bike.  No one's likely to want a GS trike that badly, but the enitre front half is still there for parts.

By all means, I'll show starwalt my bruise! I don't think it'll get any more purple, though!  :nana: As for the last part of your statement....well....*I* didn't say it!  :P

:?  Lost in Translation? Code words? Maybe a secret government plot with purple helicopters??

Or could THIS be the ultimate purple conspiracy? Who knows where GS conversions will lead to? A complete breakdown of civilization, law and order? A tear in the fabric of space time?

I feel dizzy. We're getting silly. It could be the result of excessive turkey proteins in the blood chemistry. Only god knows what the fellow that did the GS trike conversion was on; definitely a mind altering substance.  :o
