    This is the only trike worth having:

    Now old farts can still lean, while being able to lock the front suspension at the lights....

    Sorry guys (and gals)...

    Just saw this on the motorway yesterday, had to post.. Its a V-strom DL1000 with an extra back wheel...! saw the lights coming up in my rear view mirror and thought he was towing a trailer... upon closer inspection, it was a completely modified DL1000.... Im impressed..

    Somone has gotta know this dude, bloody good effort for conversion..

    And yes, this maybe a little off topic, but theres no such site as kiwiTriker.. (though there is a kiwitrikers..doh).

    Happy new year everyone.!
    Hi guys, did anyone find out about this? I was looking at a trike. I have an injury so have to ride one, we can't all do two wheels. I can ride a an auto bike with hand controls only but supporting one with my left leg is pretty hopeless on wet white paint. Getting it up on the stand can be difficult if not impossible and I reckon if I can't do something right or safely I shouldn't do it at all. I am now looking at an outrigger kit. Does anyone know of one which is legal in New Zealand for under 250cc as I have done the handling skills test but not the motorcycle learners. Transit doesn't seem to know and the LVVTA is having trouble letting me know if they are legal or, as when finished they will have 4 wheels if they are registered as a car or bike. I can only get one for a 400cc for the Burgman which is the smallest they make. Our restrictive laws make things really hard here. I was looking at some overseas websites and they are so less draconian than ours. Any positive feedback is appreciated. I have looked at trikes but a second hand 3 wheeled goldwing for 40k doesn't really appeal.
    Thanks

    Have at look at Trinity Trike. They make trike kits for the Hyosung GV250 - the pricing's a bit obscure, the basic kit is US$4000 but that doesn't include wheels, tyres, and fenders (which look like they'd add approx US$2k to the total). They also make trike kits for bigger bikes and sub-250cc runabouts as well.
