Motor Trike - Notes From Some Of Our Satisfied Customers 

         

October 26, 2010  

Jeff, It was a pleasure to meet and talk with you this year. My burnt orange GL1800 Trike got plenty of attention on my trip from NC to Key West. Plenty of comments and photos were taken. Thanks again for a comfortable riding kit.

Hi Katie.

 

Give my thanks to Richard and the members of your staff for sending a replacement drive shaft so quickly. In Pa our riding season is nearing an end and I haven't had my trike very long and we wanted to enjoy as much of the fall as possible.

 

Cordially,

Dear Motor Trike:

We have a 2008 Honda Gold Wing GL1800 with a Motor Trike conversion on it. 

We'd been having a continual air leakage from the trike's air shocks.  We took the trike to a Motor Trike dealer in Columbia City, IN; he fixed part of the problem, but the air leakage continued.  So then, we took the trike to Hayden Honda (Kendallville, IN), and the staff at Hayden Honda was able to finally identify the source of the air leakage problem -- it needed a new air shock.

We just wanted to say "THANK YOU" to you for sending the new replacement air shock to Hayden Honda in such a timely manner.  Once Hayden Honda received the air shock, they set up an appointment for us and installed the new air shock. Our trike finally is not leaking air in the air shocks.  It's a pleasure to ride our trike and not have to worry about an air leakage.

We are quite satisfied with our original Motor Trike dealer, Mitchell Family Motor Trikes (Travis & Justin Mitchell), but they are in Texas, and we're here in Indiana.  So, we are very pleased with Hayden Honda and are excited that we now have a reliable Motor Trike dealership within a 45-mile drive from our home to handle any recall and/or warranty work. 

Sincerely,

Janice & Chip N.
Fort Wayne, IN

 To Whom It May Concern,

On our recent trip to the West Coast and back to Pa. and all points of interest in between, we experienced a rare breakdown with our new motor trike. Our air compressor quit working. This condition was noticed as we were coming out of the Rocky Mountain National Park. That evening I called Mid-State Trikes in Trumensburg NY. Brad told me to hang loose, not to get excited and that I had made the right call. He got on his laptop and found 2 dealers along interstate 70 in which I was headed for to take care of the problem. In Great Bend Kansas L&L Motorsports and Mid-West Bikes to Trikes in Leavonworth Kansas both of which were very eager to help me with this situation. One of whom, was even ready to jump in the truck and come and get me. I chose to go to Great Bend at which time the doors were open for me. After a final checkout it was determined the compressor was bad. At this time I chose to have them put an air fitting in the system so as I could pump it up myself when needed. At this time I would like you to thank these dealers for all of their efforts in helping me and my wife to finish our 8,000 mile trip on our new motor trike. We enjoyed the trip and our motor trike. We got a lot of positive comments on our bike along the way.

Thank you so much.

Dear Motor Trike,

I want to thank you and Motor Trike for the beautiful conversion you did on my 2000 Road King in May. We are so pleased with it and can"t count the number of complements we have received on it. A couple of friends of mine told me about Motor Trike and I am glad they did. Can't believe how well the color match came out. My wife said that this is a KEEPER when she saw it.

Thanks again and God bless.

   Dear Motor Trike,

Just wanted to say thank you, I dropped off my rocket 111 last Friday 6-18-10, I was even directed where to go by your lawn person , very nice man. Then was met by another gentleman who helped to unload the bike, And a very nice friendly person named Jessica showed myself and my elderly father around your plant, she took her time with us and answered all questions we threw at her, also every one we came in contact with was equally polite and friendly, just wanted to drop you a little note to say it was a real pleasure meeting your staff, and I am waiting anxiously to get to ride my new trike.

Thanks again

   Dear Motor Trike,

I drove to your plant this morning (Friday) from Waxahachie and took the tour. Everyone was very friendly and informative. I recently purchased the IRS kit for my 09 Wing and your people were very willing to answer any and all questions. The entire process was well explained, well organized, very clean and gave me even more confidence that I have made the right decision to go with Motor Trike.

Well Done!

   Sirs,

I purchased your Spyder Trike Kit in 2008 on a new 2008 GL1800 from Mitchell's Family Motor Trikes in Gatesville, Tx. Then this past month, I had Mitchell's Trikes change out my Motor Trike Spyder Kit to your new Independent Suspension Kit. I was thinking I was doing this primarily to get a larger door on my trunk which would enable me to put a helmet in the lower trunk. Boy was I wrong! I never dreamed a ride could be so smooth. And if you think I am pleased with it, you should hear my wife. With the old Motor Trike kit (non-independent suspension) when we were coming up on a railroad track crossing, my wife would raise herself up off the seat with her legs to prevent the bike bouncing her so hard when we went across. Well, no more. You barely realize when you cross the tracks. Much, much smoother ride. We both couldn't be happier. Thank you Motor Trike! Great job!

Thank you,

   To one and all involved in the production of the IRS kit. I thank you for your engineering, production, and quality control.

This kit was received @ Trike Toys in Henderson Nevada on the 18th of December. Shortly thereafter, the new kit begin its integration with my GL1800. More than once I was down at the shop taking pictures, asking questions, and getting assurance from a Mr. Rick Hillis.

Prior to this event starting, I had been in talking to the men @ Trike Toys. Mr. Hillis helped me with all of my questions, explaining he had been to your plant and was knowledgeable with the IRS. As time passed, questions were answered, and we struck a deal.

Just today I was able to drive my new trike home. Mr. Hillis insured that each and every nut and bolt was "just so"... Looking over this very carefully, the fit and finish the Mr. Hillis demanded, and was provided by your kit proved to be something I am very proud of.

I have had the pleasure of already giving neighbors and my mother, (nearly 90), a spin around the block. With just a press of the air compressor, the ride is compensated for the additional weight. Truly outstanding.

It is important for me that you, Motor Trike, is aware that your professional relationship and training with Mr. Rick Hillis @ Motorcycle/Trike Toys is a feather in your hat. He did an outstanding job in a timely manner. No question went unanswered. If anything does require attention on this kit, I have absolutely no problem dealing with Mr. Hillis.

Thank you, One & All,

Dear Jeff & Diane,

   This is my first Goldwing, so why not do it right and trike it. I purchased the bike and kit from Honda of Winston-Salem in N. C. The staff was knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Be proud of the workmanship for fit and finish, I am glad to be a rolling billboard for you. Hope to get to Texas in 2010 to see the plant. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Vey,

   I want to thank Motor Trike for providing me the name of Good Fellows Bike Repairs, LLC in Midland. VA.

Leroy Greene and his mechanic Gris are not only calm, patient and friendly but also very knowledgeable

When I called your company I was told to approach Good Fellows. They had to take out the axle and replace it with a brand-new one your company shipped within three days. This kind of action is rare! It is also exceptional that Leroy and Gris called me and explained in detail what they are going to do. In addition they finished the job on time!

You should put this company on the top of your list when it comes to build or repair a Motor Trike. I promise you customers will be as satisfied as I am. And by the way the shop is only one hour south of Washington D.C.

Sincerely,

Gunnar S.B.

Katie,

   I wanted to let you know that I just got back from your wonderful Motor Trike plant in Troup and that Dennis, Suzi and the entire staff took terrific care of me. I brought in my trike around 11:00 this morning and everyone jumped right on my leaning problem, helped un-trailer my trike, fixed my issues and had us on the road again within an hour.

   Kudos to your GREAT team and staff for their attention to detail and support. Suzi was her wonderful and helpful self even though she was busy. Dennis and the Service Department could not have been more attentive, informative and professional!

   Thank you and everyone there for your Customer Service...
Your Company is the BEST and stands for what America and all Companies should strive to be like!

GOD Bless,

Dear Motor Trike,

   Just wanted to send you a short email regarding my recent purchase.In March I decided to have a trike built and did some basic research on the web and came across your website. Living in New Jersey I contacted Ace Motor works in West Berlin NJ. I took some time to drive down and meet Jeff Miller @ his shop to discuss what I wanted. He went over the details of your product and the time line to complete the bike. I purchased a new Honda VTX 1800 and had it delivered to Jeff's shop. My only concern was the color scheme on the kit. The bike is a two tone paint with factory pin striping. Jeff assured me that I would be satisfied with the outcome. I picked the bike up this past Saturday and to say I was satisfied would be an understatement. The fit and finish was better than a factory job. Jeff's installation was perfect. His attention to detail and customer satisfaction is second to none. You should be proud to have him as a part of your dealer network. Feel free to use me as a contact in New Jersey if you have any new customers that would like to see what a finished product looks like. Again I would like too say Thanks to Jeff and his crew for a job well done..

Sincerely,

Dave E.

Jeffrey,

   I met you last October during Biketoberfest in Daytona, FL. After riding the Harley-Davidson TriGlide at the racetrack, I was anxious to ride a Motortrike on an Electra chassis. You arranged for me to test ride a 2009 Ultra Classic Motortrike conversion at the your Beach Street shop, where I met Russell and Libby.

   I was favorably impressed with the test ride, as well as Russell and Libby, and I made arrangements with them to have my 2008 Electra Glide Standard converted. The conversion was completed February 3, 2009, and I was sincerely impressed by Russell's workmanship. Both Russell and Libby represent your company extremely well.

   Since the conversion, I have added more than 2400 miles to the odometer. I have taken the trike on a trip to Georgia from my home in Fort Myers, FL, to visit my daughters as well as the ride to Daytona for bike week where, I am sorry to say, I was not able to tell you this personnaly, as you were involved in an all day meeting.

   The more I ride, the more I enjoy the ride. The initial learning curve of steering rather than leaning into turns has been overcome, and I look forward to many more miles. The current plans for my wife Teri and I are to ride to the Leesburg (FL) Bikefest, the Myrtle Beach Spring Rally, the Laconia Bike Week, the Key West Bike Week, the Myrle Beach Fall Rally, and finally Biketoberfest, as well as any other events that might catch our fancy.

   Finally, I want to again express my appreciation for the job well done by Russell. I hope to catch up with you at some future event.

Sincerely,

John V. L.

Hi,


Thought you might be interested in seeing a picture of my V-Rod with your trike installed. The photo was taken the day installation was completed at RAW Performance in Crabtree PA. We rode it to a car/bike show about 2 miles away and took a second place trophy. RAW did an exceptional job on the conversion. I am extremely pleased.

Thanks,

Alan B.

Dear Jeff & Diane,


My wife and I waited for well over a year for California's Air Resource Board to decide that your conversion did not alter the emissions of our 2007 Harley Ultra Classic. Once California came to it's senses, I got a call from Mike Ritchie of Big Daddy's Pull Toys, to give me the good news. Mike did a great job with the build and was a pleasure to work with. Your factory did a great job as well, matching the special pin stripes of the Special Edition Ultra, as well as the overall great quality of your product. Wherever we go, we get compliments and questions. My wife and I love seeing our country on our Trike and look forward to many, many years of adventures. I have spent forty years riding on two wheels. Now I look forward to the next forty on three. Thanks again for a fabulous product. Just like a Harley, it was worth the wait.

Mr. Vey,

I wanted to drop you a note and tell you how pleased I was with the recent purchase of the Harley Davidson Trog kit from your company, and most important meeting you and your employees.

I had decided on very short notice that I wanted to convert my 2003 Ultra to a Motor Trike and you guys stepped up to the task. I dropped it off on a Friday and it was ready Tuesday P/M.

I picked the Trike up Dec 23rd and actually rode it to a Christmas day dinner in Gulf Shores Al. The weather was great and so was the ride.
