The servicar is getting sold, and the sidecar is almost done, so we were moving all kinds of shit around at Super Cycle today.

Dream 50

I wanted one of these when they came out, but for over 6K for a non-street legal bike it was insane. Most people agreed with me and they still sit in the Honda dealers showrooms as more of a cool display than a for sale item. But anyway, Jason and I went out the other day and I realized I still want one of these beautiful bikes, but I also still cannot swallow shelling out over 6K for a bike I can’t ride legally. So I and back to just dreaming of the Dream 50….
here is the Dream 50R

Jason on the “R”

Here is the street legal version that was released in Europe….

New trike

basementchoppers — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 01:43:51 +0000

So I traded the 79 Sporty for a 1958 servicar trike. It has the original flathead engine Linkert carb and three speed with reverse. I’m gonna get it running and make it so that my four year old can ride on the back! So I’m gonna start looking into making a Roth style covered rear section for the boy. Gonna be a lot of work, but what the hell???

Here it is as it came home….

This is what I’m thinking about doing…

And this is what it will look like if i go back to original…

but now I’m just gonna get her running and go from there.
