Since I have 100 blogs, I can't start a new one. Tacked this in front of an old blog so I could send the pictures to the new owner of this beautiful machine!
 |
| Was asked by a "Friend of a Friend" in Canada to check out this little trike. The Victory Motorcycle/Hyundai Car dealership had a flood last week, Plumbing leak that put about 2 inched of water inside the show room and offices. So, it was a bit of a hassle getting this bike out for me to test ride today |
 |
| Sort of plain in back, but VERY nice. A large custom built Mustang seat with backrests |
 |
| I did a "walk around" to get sort of familiar with it. |
 |
| Trike is a Boss Hoss. A built 350 Chevy engine, fuel injection, and puts out 385 hp. Has enough power to get you down the street. |
 |
| The picture doesn't do justice in showing you massive the tank is! |
 |
| The shifter was a little hard to figure out. Good thing these is a gear indicator on the dash. You have to push up and down and forward and backward. The rider backrest isn't installed, but it goes in a slot between the rider and passenger |
 |
| Very nice instrumentation. |
 |
| Very comfortable seat |
 |
| Rode it home to go over it good. It dwarfs the Harley, which you can't even see. It's parked right in front of the trike :-) |
 |
| Pat has an excellent eye for detail, so she helped look it over. And found the few small blemishes before I did. |
 |
| Only 3 places where there is a paint problem |
 |
| Not real noticeable in the big picture, but here's another one |
 |
| Not being "picky", these shots are for the new owner so he'll know what to expect |
 |
| Road the bike about 15 miles. LOTS of fun! |
 |
| Fits nicely in the garage with the other 3! Think I NEED this bike! :-) |
 |
| After finding reverse, it was backed to the front of the house |
 |
| Noticed this little blemish on the tank, but it can be buffed out, it's not through the paint |
 |
| AZ doesn't have a helmet law, but the dealer's insurance requires one to be worn on test rides. They loaned me this "bucket" |
 |
| My turn around point up Stockton Hill Road. Was able to test throttle response and brakes. It also has air ride suspension, so I played with that too. |
 |
| The last of only 3 blemishes we found, right on the tip of the fender |
 |
| Burn in the seat. Not all the way through the vinyl. |
 |
| 5600 miles is all that's on this trike. It's beautiful and runs great! If it was something I wanted, I think it would be well worth buying. Either to ride or as an investment for re-sale. |
