Harley-Davidson trike getting closer to production?
Patent drawings have revealed that Harley-Davidson, the quintessential American Motor Company, has been working on leaning three-wheelers for the last few years. This is a concept that has already proven itself viable with products like the Piaggio MP3 series of scooters currently on the market. HD has already established itself as a player in the V-Twin trike market with its first-ever factory trike, the Tri Glide Ultra Classic. That model, new for 2009, uses the more common arrangement of two wheels in back, one in front. Rumor has it that the upcoming model from The Motor Company will reverse that with the single wheel at the rear, a setup that we prefer for stability. If Harley does introduce a reverse-trike concept, expect it to be powered by the liquid-cooled Revolution motor as opposed to the classic 45-degree air-cooled twin that the company is famous for.

Anyone who thinks that trikes don't belong on the road are just idiots ! Trikes happen to be saferin different scenarios ! At least if a retard with a car runs you off the road ,you don't have to lay the bikle down and possibly total it or get killed !A friend of mine was killed because of a jerk in a car that stopped dead in the road for no reason ! He couldn't go around because of oncoming trraffic ,so he laid it on it's side . The tire got traction ,turned him around ,and drove him under the rear end of the car crushing his head ! Crotch rockets are the bikes that should be banned or just kept away from teenaghe riders that do not respect the power ! Bikes that go 175 out of the crate do not have a purpose on the streets ! How many teens get killed every year because or their reckless driving habits ! A good majorityy of them come from wealthy parents that give their kids what ever they want ,that is wrong ! What ever happened to earning what you got ?
