Building stuff is fun. Stupid stuff is even more funner. See? That
was stupid and it was more funner already. Making things that I
THINK
will work is always a good use of my time. When they don't work, it
just ends up spawning some other stupid idea. And sometimes,
THAT works! Here is a great example.
Acacia's trike,
The Crusher,
was a little too wobbly because (apparently) it's hard to make a 41.5"
wheel stable when you poke it way out off the back of a single wheel
drive trike. Who knew? So, I cut it off. And then made a bike out of it.

| The Crusher, with the ass removed. |
 |
| The Ass. Ready to be a front. |
 |
| About to become the new ass. |
 |
| New rear in place, ring for steering - I'm going to try it right on the fork this time... low! |
 |
| Another view. |
 |
| This was eventually welded in - but I got bored. So... |
 |
| This bike is a total pile. Rusted chain, Random attachments, basket, broken spokes, etc. Time to die. |
 |
| Remove the fork and with a little welding (3 tubes & handlebars) I got this! |
 |
Yes, I rode it around and my son, Vance, thinks it's hilarious.
My wife only hates me a little. I'll fix a few details and this will be a sweet ride! |
And so there ya go. Chopping up one thing makes parts
for another. I'll get my wife's trike back in shape pretty quick and I
have another carcass of a trike (The Evil Eye) I should be getting back
on the road too... Until next time! Rock on - Scotty C.
