Jack's Trike and Trailer
Now it might look like there’s a
bike being rear-ended by a car with a strange canopy on the bac, but in
fact it’s Jack Rowe’s trike and camper trailer. The front end is a
mixture of parts with, I think, the basis an early Honda Gold Wing. The
back half of the trike is the front of a Honda Civic car. Jack built
the trike a few years ago and has ridden it for many miles.
As you read on the centre pages he rode the trike and the
home-made camper trailer attached on the Eastern States trip with Andy,
Trevor and Steve. Unfortunately he had a mechanical failure and was
stuck with only 1st gear. He then rode it back to Albany at 60 kms/hr
for 2449kms - I’m sure that should go in some sort of record book.
He then hopped on his BMW trike and rode to Philip Island in time
for the Moto GP.
