    I have a Trike from late 60's to early 70's. I would like any help I can get on who built it. The wheels look just like the ones Von Dutch likes to use, Blue Centers and Chrome Rim. I tried to attach Pictures, Hope it worked

    Just a heads up.

    You might have better lucky finding information about your trike over on the Jockey Journal,,it's a motor cycle site. HRP

    I don't think I would call that traditional.

    Left handed throttle for the person in the "drivers" side seat.
    Looks like the brake handle is between the seats. Hairy ride for sure.

    That is way cool. Love how you are changing in the breeze. If that didn't want it to be ridden then they would have put square wheels on it!!!!!!

    I'm not sure about that. The front wheel is turned hard left in in the pics so I think it is a right hand throttle for the "driver" sitting on the left side. Definitely takes bigger br*** ones than I have to manuever that thing with one hand through rush hour traffic!!

    I can't figure out that little issue of shifting the transaxle unless it's a semi-automatic.

    But it's powered by a VW, it will get deleted over there.

    It has one Handle bar. The left seat operater works the Clutch and Brake, you have to Push the Chrome Stirrups foward. You Shift it with a VW like shifter in between the seats. Your right, it would take BIG BR*** BALLS to drive it. I would really like to find the history about it. Thanks for all your comments. I will try to locate Mark Marority.

    The drive's side of the Trike has the Chrome Stirrup that operates the Clutch and Brake when you push out of them. The Shifter is in between the Seats, like a VW. The front end handlebars start with two then model into one in about 4 inches with a typical throttle at the end. It has a Single Wheelie bar mounted to the back of the Engine. I don't know for sure if I have Br*** Balls, but when I get it running I will definitely ride it. Thanks everyone for looking and any ideas are appreciated. Richard
