I would love to have a set of detailed prints by which to build this mini trike!  The guy that built this could make a nice piece of change just selling plans.

I was watching Counting Cars last night.    It is a shop in Lost Wages that buys, fixes up and sells vehicles.

He bought a started Trike last nights show and converted it to one hell of a 3 wheeler.

The rear tires and wheels were on it when he bought it and NO motor.

Rear tires measured 18" across, and actually looked good on the rig.

It came out of his shop looking real nice..........     I wouldn't of mind having it but wow, it would be a hand full to ride with all the wheel spinning it would and would do.

I think he paid $5,000 for it and got $35,000 for it, but ya need to add in his labor/parts & materials.

He goes by the nickname of the Count.   Also drives around in a FOE 47 Chev Flatbed looking for cars.    Last night I saw his 55 Black Chevy for the 1st time.

I know he has about 15 to 20 vehicles in his possession.

That last one with a big ole fat blower doesn't take off like it should of he was afraid to twist the wick that hard.

Yem he did leave a couple of black marks.

When I was stationed at N A S Alameda the gal I was going with at the time rented a Mustang for us and we drove Lombard 2 or 3 times. That and some things I can't mention here were my going away gifts for going back overseas for the 3d time. RIDE SAFE.

went to Counts shop back in June while on vacation out there ~ interesting place. But they actually don't let you in the shop, can't even take any pictures looking into the shop. You get to see Counts personal collection of cars, talk to a representative ( we met the big guy, accountant). Of course there is a gift shop, yeah, I got the shirts.
Also went to the Pawn Stars store, saw many of the items that have seen on tv.

I'm just guessing here, but that little trike isn't something you would be (comfortable or not) riding to Bike Night..... but I bet I could haul it on a little trailer behind the Valkyrie.

Bike night from the shop is 7 blocks for us.

I think I could handle that little Trike for that far.

My son rides his little Harley Aermacchi to 3 bike nights a week.   Farthest one is 7 miles.   I think this year he is going to alternate between his 4 bikes.   His Texas Chopper, 2 Benelli's he saved from the metal scrap pile, and his Italian Harley Aermacchi.

Yea....even I might be tempted, but that little thing has no suspension, sitting right on the heater (wear your asbestos skivvies), and no street legal lighting/signals etc.  You would have to have a jacket with the lights in the front pockets, a clear plastic pouch on back for your plate and rear signals as well.   ;D   Yea, I would be tempted to do it too.    I try to swap bike nights with my four bikes as well; 73 Scrambler, 81 cb650 and 82 cb900 in addition to the Valk.    That little trike would be nice to add in the mix.


Here it is from another angle.....
