Triumph triple 1200

[Randell]

Good Idea . In the Wiang Chai area east of Chiang Rai. I have seen at least 3 conversions mostly Dreams or waves but one I saw had a differential  rear-end the other were just simple  axels. Billd766 you should check into that a shame to let the Phantom just slowly die.

It ain't worth more than about 10k baht, assuming I can get it started, running + taxed and insured. There is nowhere up here in Kamphaeng Phet who could do it that I know of. The last trike I saw in a workshop was somewhere along Sukhumvit road in Pattaya, and that must have been about 10 years or more ago.

An interesting thought.

It can be done in places in Phitsanulok.

Just a thought. 

 

The Phantom is a 2 wheel bike. If it was converted into a trike how would I get on with tax and insurance? Are trikes classed as bikes?

 

Yamaha has that odd 3 wheel bike and there are plenty of samlors around plus scoots with sidecars and some other 3 wheelers whose name escapes me at the moment.

Well the DLT would do somic I've seen bikes with side cars taxed and CTPL insured.

Seen 3 wheeler Waves so  I guess it can be done, anyway TIT who bother you. ????

Can't say the word "Triple" and not get my juices going:

My buddy's buddy's Kawasaki H-1 Mach111 was the first bike I ever drove at speed (over 80mph) on an abandoned runway in Maine.  Clunky gearbox, terrible brakes, bouncy suspension but get within 10 degrees of the red-line and no matter what gear you were in you had to muscle the front wheel down.

 

It sounded like a tin can full of rocks at low revs but wind that 2 stroke-triple up and it was like ripping steel.

A sound I'll never forget as long as I live.

Yes. If you can be classified as disabled, DLT will allow you to ride a trike on public roads.

With that approval tax will be possible.

You will have to check with a private insurance company to see if they will insure it with First, Second Plus, or Second class insurance
