This is my homepage for my homemade 3-wheelers
(trike/motorcycles). My name is Ed Evans, and I live near Waco, Texas.
This is my current ride. I started this in 2004, when I gave up on trying
to find a drive train for the 6cyl trike I was trying to build. This one
has a '69 VW Pancake Engine, and it is an Automatic. It has a Harley Wideglide
front end and boss hog gas tanks. I am looking for another gas tank
to supplement those because I don't want to have to stop so often to get
gas. In 2005 I took it up to the first BTW Rally held in Forsyth, Mo.
A wheel bearing went out on it and we didn't get to do the parade into
Forysth. Click

for pictures. It went to the Top of Texas Rally 2005 and did just
fine. In 2006 we did Jacksboro, TX; Sturgis, SD; Amarillo, TX; Turner Falls, OK; and Galveston, TX. I rode it up to Jacksboro for the Memorial Day Event this year (2008).

This is my old ride. It has a metal body on a Volkswagon rear-end. It
has a '68 beetle engine. It has a 750 Honda front end. We trailered
her to the BTW meet at the Berry Patch in Rapid City, SD in 2001. On the
way she caught fire (electrical wiring burned up). I noticed her headlight
was on and stopped, and smoke was just pouring out. I disconnected the battery,
while my wife and daughter poured Dr. Peppers (only liquid available) on
the flames. Boy was I disgusted. I spent the first day at the Berry Patch
rewiring her so she'd run. But she did run before the day was out.

I've built this three wheeler back in 1997. It now has an extended
front end, a stainless steel dash, a windshield, and it seats two (side by
side). I've mounted signal lights, emergency flashers, fog lights, and an
emergency brake. I also added a theft alarm (which burned up and I haven't
replaced). It has had a top it, but I got tired of it and took it back
off.
I went to my first ever trike-in at Sturgis in 1997. Since then
I have been to 3 Lone Star Trike-ins at
West,
TX, 10 Top of Texas Trike-ins in
Amarillo,
on Memorial Day 2001 we attended the Lone-Star Trike-in that was held in
Abilene,
and on Memorial Day 2002 and 2003 we attended "The Gathering" at
Graham, Tx.Memorial Day 2006 and 2008 we attended the rally in Jacksboro, Tx.
Aug 2006 we did the Sturgis Rally. Sturgis Pictures and while we were there we did a BTW meet in Rapid City. The pictures from it are online at: SD BTW Meet
I joined the Yahoo Club
brothersofthethirdwheelbtw. That is where the pictures
from the 2000 Top to Texas Trike-In were posted. However, I went to the website
yesterday to look at the pictures and the photo album is gone. Moral to that
is don't post pictures at Yahoo groups.
In 2003 we went down to the Lone Star Rally in Galveston. The trike didn't
make it, we had to get the trailor and take it back home; but we went on
down anyway. In 2004 the trike made it. It was repainted right before we
went. So it was more red then yellow. We had a good time in spite of the
fact it rained all day Saturday. In 2005 Hurrican Rita messed up our plans to attend the Rally. In 2006 we took the new trike to Galveston. Click on links for pictures.
