rocket V--trike

[Jacko]

I'm new here....

My first post so be gentle.

I have a balance problem - result of a scuba accident a few years ago so whilst I can still ride a two-wheeler, I don't feel very secure doing so and my insurance company would probably feel the same.

I have a Rocket 3 trike being built as we speak. I can't wait!!!

looks not too bad, but the colour is putrid IMHO...

however, it's only lookin at that and realising that the rear axle is either in exactly or almost exactly the same position as the stock wheel that you realise just how frekkin long yer beast really is

good postings about the disabled aspect also, very valid, might be me in 10 years

jacko,

Great way to enjoy the motorcycle world while staying safe. Let us know when you get the trike and post some pics.

Hi Pete,

Yep, not far from Cinderford, maybe 10 miles. I actually live in the middle of nowhere really - a place called Tidenham Chase. We are just over a mile from the nearest public road!!

PM me next time you're planning a trip down this way and we could hook up somewhere if you'd like to see it in the flesh .

Cheers

Jacko

I built a HD trike for the wife in 94 so that she could ride without me worrying about her falling off, I spent more time on it than she did, when I'm too old to hold the rocket up its getting a third wheel. :lol:

Hi nice looking trike, is the leading link front suspension a purchased conversion or did you make it yourself. My R3T has modified yokes to reduce the trail, it is very stable at high speed but takes a lot of effort when cornering on country lanes. Is your set up easy to handle and stable.
