Looking for a triking, must have moto guzzi engine. Will consider in any condition. Price is very important as $ are short.

Good luck Troll, I've seen 1 in Oz, at Toms shop about 10 years ago & the guy wanted a farkin' fortune for it (20K), can't recall ever seeing another one around.

You may be better buying a wrecked Guzzi & building your own, or (having an out loud wonder here) how much trouble would it be to gut one of those bontrike things (with the beetle motor) & fitting a Guzzi backwards.

Any one know somebody with one of those things, I wouldn't mind taking some pics & measurements.

Heard that someone got killed ( minute silence ) over the border years ago wrapping his triking around a tree. Can anyone shed some light on this.

Troll,

We have a Moto Guzzi Cali III converted trike on the Sunshine Coast. It is currently for sale but as yet not listed on any sales site. I have photos if you would like to see it. I am happy to speak with you via the phone, Email or via this forum.

Charles in Sydney has a Lomax, but I reckon you'd have buckley's getting him to part with it.

I suspect the Troll is looking for a Guzzi powered three wheel car, as opposed to a trike. Confusion possibly caused by the Triking name? What is a Triking ????? See this link http://www.triking.co.uk/

Or just admire this picture, they are quite a lovely hand built work of art.

Troll,

After I googled "Triking" I worked out that it was the three wheeled car kit you were inquiring about. Good luck with your inquiries.

I will keep my ear out. I will post a photo of our trike soon if anyone out there is interested in a look.

Yep, the 3 wheel car kit is what I'm looking for though the 1100 cali trike looks nice.
