Going through the blog for ICON, found a short post about the possibility of a three wheeler being built for their ICON 1000's collection. Don't know how many of you guys ride bikes, but they've come up with some pretty unique and crazy stuff.

The cute little model trike that looks like it's straight from 'Mad Max'....that's pretty neat too.

I recognize that front tire from one of my many Lego sets...
Cool nonetheless

I like the model, dangerously inspiring actually!! Top end would surely stay oiled :lol:

Why is the engine upside down?

I was more interested in what they wrote:

"We’ve never come publicly clean about our love for trikes. Not trikes as in the Fire Lake chrome three-wheeler, but trikes of the ATC variety – with the 85-86 Honda ATC250R and Yamaha Tri-Z being the preferred embodiment."

"Rumor has it that there is a three-wheeler in ICON1000′s near future."

You look at some of the bikes in their collection; Ural and Harleys built into off road street trackers. icon1000.com/bike/quartermaster/ , http://icon1000.com/bike/the-roach/

So what kind of sick ideas could be applied and developed with a Tri-Z or 350X?

I already like and buy their gear, but if they come out with a 3-wheeler on the site or in the catalog, I'd be a loyal customer.

That was pretty cool of them to say. I wonder if they're on here?

That Ural is sick. I sport that thing all day.
