Re: Taking luggage
I was fortunate that my donor bike came with panniers, which I subsequently used as additional luggage space. Very little modification to the panniers or the car were required.

Re: Cost of painting...
I looked at vinyl wrap, and decided that, never having done it before, it would be quite tricky at the rear of the Triking due to the angular nature of the tail-light and license plate areas.

Re: Cost of painting...
I spray-painted mine using Rustoleum Cobalt Blue "metallic" rattle cans from Walmart - under $100 , then another $100 for 3M's polishing kit. Looked pretty good for several years, but now the sun (strong around here) has started to cause "checking".

Re: Keep the Forum Going.
I posted that original comment almost 6 years ago, and, looking back, I can see that I was maybe a little pessimistic, as the Forum is still here, although it's still pretty much the same half dozen or so people as back then - this doesn't bode well for the future though, as I think most of them (us...

Re: broke clutch cable
Definitely not recommended, but if you are desperate (maybe on the railroad tracks and the train is coming ;) ) you can do what I did in my Fiat Spyder when the clutch went out and you need to get going from a dead stop - engage 2nd or 3rd gear and then use the starter to get you up to speed (not su...
