New guy in Buffalo, shopping for vw trike

[kerryb]

I'm shopping the northeast for a vw trike. Have several prospects in my price range. Is a Wil-mac any better than the rest, or just well known due to volume produced? I think I would prefer a longer, raked out fork, but not sure the "style" is worth what I would give up in turning radius or other handling issues, what's your opinion?

Nice to see there is a place for trike enthusiasts.

p.s. ...wanted one of these since I was a kid and saw one while walking home from school in 1969, some goals take a while to reach!

Hey Kerry,

Welcome Kerry.

Not sure how far you want/need to travel, but here's a rugged homebuilt that might pique your interest.

Another thing to consider before laying out hard earned $$, in general, the longer the front end, the bigger the turn radius.

Good luck in your search...

Another one longer front end, somewhat of a project:

If you get that VW trike this summer I hope you will consider attending the NETT Rally.

Thanks for the warm welcome, the suggestions are much appreciated. I shall look into that rally info, as I put a deposit on this one and going to get it next week.
