Slim's Trike

Written By: Bill Bryant

Slim's infamous trike has been a regular at bike events all over the southwest for some years now. Part three-wheeler, part dirt bike and part Kawasaki two-stroke triple, Slim's trike is a rusty reflection of its creator, and never fails to draw a crowd. This rattle trap is obviously not built for much more than sketchy wheelies and slack-jawed ogling, and that's just fine with Slim. Like the man who built it, Slim's trike is funky, original and fun to be around.

My girlfriend LOVES this trike. (We have not seen it in person) I have all the pictures I could find saved. She wants one like this for her. Thinking of trying to build one with smaller tires and possibly a 2 cylinder or go with a blast motor and see how it works out :D

It's pretty wild all right. Looks like something one would find in an old barn after sitting for years. The machine is so eclectic and I can just see a new magazine now called "Mad Iron" and the men who create them. There are plenty of people who build crazy motorcycle powered machines like this but they have not their own place...maybe I should trade mark the idea eh.

Slim is a humble and righteous dude, and how many times did you see that combo in a human being? His motorized vehicles are all top shelf, like where momma hides the cookies, and Slim is one of the reasons why the "scene" is just fucking awesome right now.

If there ever was a "WhackyKawasaki" this's it.
In the oldschool sense of the word, not as in "wack"

I've never met the man, but have absolute respect for his vision, work, and work ethic. All his work I've seen is truly inspirational.

I have met this "Slim" fellow quite a few times and found him to be an abrasive asshole. This shitty trike only supports that assessment. The complete lack of chrome and gloss paint is unsettling, not to mention tires with no tread. That is just downright unsafe. This posting has convinced me to quite this crappy website and join American Iron.

Yours in sarcasm,

Feen	I always see Slim at the LBC swap meet and no matter how many times I see this guy in a magazine, he still always has a moment to say whats up to a nobody like me. Not only does he build the most off the wall machines, he's one of the coolest guys you'll meet in the business... Slim is the Man.

Haha,last time I sat on this little beast,fucking tires tried to eat my ass. Only person who I think could ride it is Slim. Proud to call the crazy fucker my friend,even more proud of his blue collar work ethic and nose to the grindstone attitude. Can't wait until we unveil the "Lucky Fucker Special"

Slim

The people that are trying to giving you gruff are jealous because they did not think of it first. They do not know you very well do they..... I do and you are a true chop artist in the things you create and you are on the cutting edge.... SHAME ON THEM!!!!!!!! If we all were the same in this world it would be awful place to be...... All I can say is CHOP-ON DUDE!!!!!
