Motor Trike - Notes From Some Of Our Satisfied Customers

August 03, 2010

   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 a quick note to say thank you to Motor Trike and esp. to Richard(sr) for fixing my drive shaft on a no notice walk in repair. I arrived at 0945 Monday after driving up from Corpus Christi and all tho every one was pretty busy Richard got me in and replaced a bad drive shaft on my trike and had me out the door by noon and home at 7:30 that night. Great service. See you guys at Killeen this week end.

Thanks again

   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.

I would also like to thank Tonya Waggoner and Richard Graham who guided me through the process, and please tell who ever washed my motor cycle trailer while it was at your facility, that it was a nice gesture and shows commitment to your customers, and shows the customer they are an important part of your business…….Sometime small deeds make all the difference.

And your advice to my wife and I regarding what to look for, and how to drive/handle the Trike was very valuable information, and most important it allowed my wife to be part of the learning experience on a Trike..

I wish you the Best, and Happy New Year to you, your family, and employees in the new year, and I look forward to seeing you guy's next time I'm in East Texas.

Just wanted to let you know that you all did a wonderful job matching and pinstripping my kit for my HD. Michael and Mac in Crosby, Texas at Houston Motor Trike are wonderful. They were quick and did an excellent job and are very helpful.

Thanks

I would just like to say how much I enjoy my 2006 Road King Motor Trike. The ride is so stable at all speeds. The body design is the best looking also. Adventure Motorsports in Dothan did a great job.

Thank You

Hi Jeff & Diane,

   I looked at the H-D Ultra with a conversion ridden by one of your dealers at a Idaho rally and decided to look at a brochure. The options available for my Road King were a starting point in considering having a conversion done. I had often thought about a tombstone taillight to add to the nostalgic look I wanted when I changed my stock tires and wheels for wide whitewalls and laced wheels of the Road King Classic. Now I have two tombstone taillights and wide whitewalls with obstacle free cleaning!

   As my thoughts went from looks to the ride, I considered how the tarstrips on many roads, parking areas and some roads of gravel or grass, and tight turns seemed intimidating lately that didn't bother me in the majority of the 58,000 miles I had ridden.

   My next concern was if regular maintenance and the actual conversion could be done someplace locally. My Harley dealer had no problem continuing my maintenance with your trike kit. There was also one of your dealers nearby, so I was able to get a demo ride and ask questions (on several occasions including during the conversion).

   My trike gets attention and comments from all ages of guys and gals at gas stations, grocery store, etc. One of the comments from a guy in his pickup truck was "there is only one thing wrong with that set up ....IT ISN'T MINE!!"

   One of the common questions is where I had the conversion done. Most people also are looking for someone close. My dealer in southeast Wisconsin moved to the northern part of the state. Are you planning on any new dealers to fill the gap?

   I sent a photo to show my "King of the Road" with the tourpak ,now permanently mounted, that I originally used with a detachable rack and solo seat. It is easy to see how your available options enhanced the look I loved.

Thanks to you and your employees,

Hi,

   I just received delivery of my Harley-Davidson MotorTrike from J&B Honda in Bloomsburg, PA. I am extremely happy with the quality of your product and particularly the job your paint shop did in matching the paint and pin stripping. I cannot say enough about the service provided by J&B Honda, especially Jeff Metz, the MotorTrike Technician. He worked very closely with me to see that the conversion went smoothly. Although it was his first Harley conversion, Jeff did a great job with the assembly.

   My wife and I are looking forward to warmer weather and many miles of riding on our Harley MotorTrike.

Sincerely,

Frank S. 




July 24, 2007

Hi Jeff,

   We don't expect you to remember us, we met you in Daytona at the Feb. rally when we bought our Harley Ultra Classic with a Motor Trike Conversion through Libby and Russell.

   We love our bike and get a lot of compliments here in North Myrtle Beach where we live.

   The reason for this note, we recently had to bring our bike up to Thomas Riley in Mebane, NC for repairs. We were so impressed with the service he gave us. We wanted you to know that. Thomas had plenty of work to keep him busy. When we brought him our trike he took care of us right away and made us feel that getting our bike back on the road was a priority to him.. a far cry from the service we are use to in Myrtle Beach. Thomas is 4 hours away from us and we worried about that but now that we have meet him, he is worth the drive to keep our trike in great condition.

   We couldn't let this outstanding customer service go unnoticed.

Thanks,

Pat and Paul J.

Good Afternoon Jeffrey and Diane Vey,

   I do not know how to tell you both and all your employees, how blessed my wife and I are to have visited your plant last January. Both of you were gone and it was about 22 degrees when we arrived there. We were greeted, very nicely , and taken through your plant,and we were very impressed. We were then introduced to Richard who gave us instructions on how to ride a Trike. It was somewhat different than two wheels , and I mean that in a positive way.

   To make a long story short, we called Noemi Grimes with Grimes Motor Trike in Brady, Texas, and went down to ride a 1500 Motor Trike, asked her to order A Coupe for our 1990 1500 SE Goldwing,that has 93,000 miles on it and going strong, and looks like a brand new bike. we, are telling you all thank you very very much, it was put on by Richard and Noemi, this is better than we ever thought it could be, and again we thank you all very much, and may God Bless you all.

   We prayed about doing this for about a year and we felt we were to go with Motor Trike and we are glad we did. Very easy to drive, and we did not change anything on the front . it looks like is was made this way to start with, very pretty workmanship. We have had our Trike for about a month now and we have put 726 wonderful miles on it. We ordered our Motor Trike in the last part of April, very pleased.

Thanks Again,

Craig and Nita H.

Dear Diane & Jeffrey Vey,

   It is a pleasure for me to be able, for once, to write a letter about the wonderful service I received. I have just received my completed "trike" from Alex Eardley of Skyline Trikes. You should be very proud to have someone like this representing you.

   Not only only did he do a beautiful job, but he returned my calls immediately and when he said he was delivering the finished trike, he arrived promptly.

A very satisfied customer,

Dear Mr. Vey,

   I have just returned from D & A Motor Trike in Seguin after getting my 600 mile check on my Motor Trike. I wanted to take a minute and tell you it has been a pleasure to deal with Duke and Al of D & A.

   Over the last few months, they have spent several hours with me allowing me to ride a demo trike, answering my many questions about Motor Trike and finally installing the Motor Trike kit on my '02 Gold Wing.

   These gentlemen have been courteous and professional. They did what they said they would do, at a very fair price. The kit was delivered and installed in a timely manner. These are true gentlemen of the old school, with honesty and integrity. They certainly represent your company in the finest manner.

   I had no complaints with my installation, but Duke and Al went through a checklist on the bike. I have only 600 miles on my trike, but I love it.

Thank you for choosing your dealers carefully. It pays, as I will spread the Motor Trike word.

Sincerely,

George L.

Hello all,

   I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying my Harley Trike. You guys did a phenomenal job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Between Motor Trike, Bikes to Trikes and Harley Davidson I believe I have the hottest bike on the road. As an amputee your conversion was critical to the success of me being able to ride and I can’t thank you all enough! Please let everyone know how thankful I am for their part in allowing me, an amputee, to experience one of the greatest thrills of my life, riding a Motor Trike Road Glide Harley!!

Dear Jeff and Diane,

   I have had my 2005 Black Cherry Honda Gold Wing Motor Trike less than two weeks. On Friday evening, I started having trouble with the lower (Motor Trike) trunk opening. Saturday a.m. I put in a call to my trike dealer, Houston Motor Trike in Crosby, TX. Sunday afternoon I received a call from L.G. McDaniel my trikeman. They had been out of town over the weekend and just returned. Mac said give him two hours and he would be on his way to my place. This is Sunday afternoon, Mac and his wife had just returned from an out of town trip and this is a 40 mile house call. It took Mac about 30 minutes to diagnose, fix, and put me back together. The problem with the trunk opening was Honda’s light weight green plastic clips in the upper (Honda) trunk.

Service by a great Dealer and a wonderful Trike Factory.

Sincerely,

Diane & Jeff,

    I have just recently converted my 2002 FLTR to your Trike and thought you might enjoy a picture of it with a background you don't normally see a trike in. Living here in Kenai, Alaska we do have some challenges that are not encountered in other riding areas. I have only put about 200 miles on the conversion since it was finished at Kenai Peninsula Harley Davidson but love it thus far

Sincerely,

Dear Jeff and Diane,

   I am the proud owner of a Harley Davidson "Fat Boy" conversion. Just a little note to say how great it was to deal with Dan and BJ at Daytona Motor Trike. They were fantastic and I congratualte you for having such wonderful people in your organization. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the experience and look forward to a great ride.

Diane & Jeff,

    Blackburn's in Medina OH has built three trikes for us - a 1500 and two 1800s. They've all been fabulous trikes and the 1800s have won first in stock trike class at Wing Ding the last two years. We've talked to you at several rallys and I know you're aware that we're enthusiastic Motor Trikers. It's been suggested that if we sent you a picture of our latest "baby" you might use it in your advertisements. I've enclosed a couple of pictures for your consideration.

Thanks,

Diane & Jeff,

    My new GL 1800 Spyder is truly spectacular. As much as I loved my first two Motor Trikes, I have to say this one is light years beyond in smoothness of handling and ride. Not to mention...it's absolutely gorgeous. Once again, thank you (and everyone at Motor Trike) for making this happen so quickly and easily.

Best Regards,
