I can't type fast enough to list all the things I like about my Hannigan Trikes. But we'll try anyway. Start from the beginning I suppose, in the summer of '08 due to health reasons I was forced to have the upper half of a lung removed. After the surgery my doctor ( BMW rider ) tells me I can no longer hold up a two wheel wing, too much damage to my muscles....so Becky and I started looking at trike kits and looked at darn near all of them. But we went with Hannigan because of the rear suspension, its wide trailing arms are set up for a smooth ride and easily adjusted. I liked the fact that there is no air lines to leak and no pump or switches to quit. The hand layed fiberglass is much stronger than chop gun fiberglass and a more uniform thickness. Every part of a Hannigan kit is made to FIT.
I got permission from my doctor to start riding after the first of the year (2009) and in 4 years Becky and I traveled over 100,000 miles and NEVER put a wrench on the Hannigan kit. The first year we had the trike I was still farming and didn't have a lot of time for long trips so we just put 10,000 miles that year. The second year we both retired, me from farming and Becky being a federal trained gun packing Juvenile Officer, leased the farm out for cash rent, sold all of our equipment and hit the road. Fast forward, November 2012 we decided to trade our trusty trike for a new one so what did we do, Called our dealer said get us a new ALL WHITE, no two tone Hannigan trike. Lets talk about it for a while, much, much larger brakes, automatic adjusting shocks, beautiful body style that matchs the new 1800 design, fantastic rear lighting, and on and on.
Becky and I didn't get to travel much in '13 because of her cancer but watch out 2014. One of the reasons we chose Hannigan is it's just an hour ride from our home in case we had problems. Now we are over at Hannigan's factory a lot but NOT BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS, we just never had any problems. So why are we there a lot, it's simple, Ruth Ann, Dave, John Lee and the rest of the staff have become family to us, we'll ride over to break bread or just shoot the bull that's what you do with family.
I know the question is "What do you like about your Hannigan Trike" well I got side tracked a little (imagine that) but my first thought was what is there not to like, we've had a lot of enjoyment from our Hannigan's with zero, ziltch, nada problems. Let me add, in my shop/garage area is my Hannigan, my BILs CSC, and a friends Roadsmith, 3 good trikes but my personal favorite is guess what? Hannigan.
