Tri-King anyone?

[Canuck750]

I have been away from the Wildguzzi family for quite a long time, had to deal with a bought of cancer two years ago, thankfully it’s behind me now. For the past year I have been building my forever home with a garage / shop that meets all my wish lists. As I get closer to completion of the build I am getting an itch to take on a new project.
I have been interested in the Tri-King three wheeler kits out of the United Kingdom for a long time.
I don't have a donor Guzzi yet, would like to find a low mile 1100 or 1200 Sport or similar to start with.

I have never seen one in the flesh let alone drove (ridden?) one.

Anyone ever driven one?
What are your thoughts on them?
If you have built one would you do it again?

I got started with Guzzis having never ridden one and bought my 72 Eldorado project sight unseen as a basket case and they had led to a love affair with the brand and many restorations over the years, I guess what I am saying is I don’t worry about taking the plunge on a Tri-King but it would be great to hear from someone who has even limited experience with them.

Thanks in advance

Jim

Great to see you back!  I see no reason why it wouldn't be a great conversion.  If you do the conversion it will be a first class job for sure!

You will probably get more traction with this query over in the general section though.

Good point Dave, I will move my query to the general category

My mate has one, one of only two that are legally on the road in Victoria Australia. It's bloody great fun.
Ive been in it a few times and been very impressed. It goes really well, harder than you might imagine. Handles really well as well. Id say if you can get one registered on the road where you are go for it.
