Well, the axle problem is solved but there won't be any pictures. My trike has been stolen. I am required to live where I work and am not allowed to chain anything up so some total waste of both DNA and O2 stole it about an hour ago. Couldn't get full coverage so I'm screwed. Those who have seen the pictures know that I have 6 months of my money and my life in that ride. To damn old to work long enough to replace her. I'm sure the thief had a bad childhood and we shouldn't hold him/her accountable. I sure would like the chance show whoever took it a little redneck karma! Attachments:

Well, I have a brand new axle sitting here anyway. Maybe I can work long enough to buy a Road Warrior. It's only 6 more months on the job. Just wanted to retire and ride in the country; maybe slip off to Waffle House from time to time. I guess if we didn't have evil, we wouldn't recognize good? Thanks for the words, Alley.

Maybe you can sell the axle some guys I know where wanting one but it all depends on what trike they have and how it mounts.

Thanks all for the kind words. It's not the trike as much as it is the work and design effort I put into it. They stole part of me. My wife is a drug addict and when she went back to her addiction, this was my healing and my hope for something more in my retirement than endless days of nothing. Sometimes life sux but I bet I won't let some worthless POS steal what's left of mine!
I am in the DFW Texas area. I will hang on to what parts I have for a week or so in the hope that it is found. I would guess if it's not recovered in a week it is gone forever.
If I am able to work long enough, I always liked the Road Warrior any way. Thanks again to all!

I thank all for the support and help I received on this forum. I will check in from time to time, but the trike adventure is over for me now. I have a YY250 T that I will focuse my attention on so you may see me on that forum from time to time. I think I have the scoot any way. I haven't been out to see if the thieves came back for it last nite.  |

Trying to work out some way to get a Road Warrior, Jim. I will be in touch for sure if I can figure it out. PM me if you get a really good used trike in your shop, please?

Bummer, Steve. Do you have any idea as to who might have done it? There is always the chance that it might be found. And don't give up. If you do you have just let the thief steal more than your trike.  |

This may be hard to follow, but it's how I feel. My wife was an addict and while I was at work, she would run all over Dallas with my car loaded with her junkie friends doing her drug stuff. The car always felt "dirty" to me after that and she destroyed 3 cars and a new scooter doing it. She is over her addiction, but that makes her a different person. She is over me and very happy in her new life. Did my Nam thing on a carrier, and 12 years military service, but it was easy compared to loving a junky. Not whining, though and I would do it again. She is alive and happy and maybe it makes up a little for the lives we took in the name of "freedom." All of this is to explain the next part.
Building the trike was my way to cope with her leaving and it was to be the foundation of my new life. It feels dirty to me in the same way now, and I'm not sure I want the trike recovered. It will just take a while to figure out what to do next. Yes, they did steal more than my trike.
