some time in jigging, and you'd be at the mercy of your own ignorance
with the handling. You could do a straight axle, at the cost of some
really horrendous and hard to control oversteer. You could do a
"1960's Ford pickup" style front axle, i.e. a straight axle that's
been split and the ends overlapped, for a simplified, but probably
still prone-to-oversteer front end.

So Snag: When it comes to oversteer vs. understeer, does your wife
prefer to go into the pucker brush front-first, or back-first?


What Tim said, Snag.

Best option, as a rider, ride two wheels.

That's the best option there is...

Best maneuverability...

Best survivability...

Ride the damned bike.

K?

Hey , you don't have to sell me ! My ride is a '90 Harley FLHTCU , and my
chicken strips are as narrow as they can get without draggin' hard parts .
If I had my way she'd be ridin' that Kaw EX250 until she outgrew it , then
on to something bigger . But she wants what she wants , and I love her and
want her to be happy . May end up talkin' to a guy that lives near Memphis
who has built several car-based trikes , might be better off with something
bigger and heavier than a CB750 based unit . Start with a FWD subframe ...
We saw some awesome trikes at Mountains , Music , and Motorcycles up in
Mountain View Ar. last month , I think that's where that particular seed got
planted .
