I have been waiting anxiously for the Victory and Harley Lehman Trikes, having a bad back keeps me off of two wheelers. The cost of converting a Harley through DFT or Lehman is not only to costly but if you use a new Harley you nulify the waranty. This news seemd to be the answer to my prayers. I guess I will be going with Victory. Having two wheels in front of me does not apeal to me in the least. It would be a good time to buy Lehman stock, assuming they are a publicly traded company.

I wouldn't mind a tilting, 3 wheeler Guzzi, at all. Plus, it would be a Guzzi. I wouldn’t mind a tilting, 3 wheeler Guzzi, at all.

PiaggioCo should come out with a MotoGuzzi using the MP3 technology (bike leans and also 'locks' at stops) with the 850cc engine/tranny they are using in the Aprilia 850-Mana. They could add all sorts of bells-n-whistles and still be less expensive than a Victory-motorcycle + trike-conversion-kit.

It takes a surprising amount of effort to turn those things. Conventional trikes would have similar difficulty, but it would take exceptional balance to keep one on two wheels while hanging off the side. It should be possible to make a tilting narrow-track reverse trike look much like the original motorcycle. A careful adaptation of the system Piaggio used on their MP3 could result in a bike that only differed below the triple-clamp. Sidecar racers drag their knees all the time.

Not without seriously hurting themselves. Ive never seen anyone slide a knee on a trike. Not without seriously hurting themselves.
