How the hell do I change the actual URL link, to "this or here or whatever" ???

How the hell do I change the actual URL link, to "this or here or whatever" ???

When typing up the post, click the URL button. It puts the URL markers in.

Add an "=" sign between the "l" in URL and the "]" right bracket.

Type or paste in the URL you want in between the = and the ].

Type in what you want the text to actually show in the post between the ] of the first URL marker, and the [ of the next URL marker.

It should end up like the below, where the URL markers are in green, and the = you have to add is in red.

[url=http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2011/08/03/harley-davidson-penster-tilting-reverse-trike/]"this or here or whatever"[/url]

And it'll look like this in the post:

"this or here or whatever"

 

[sk8norcal]

look awesome to me
reminds me of the Roadstercycle...

 

[Harold in CR]

Thank you, Sir. Hate to keep looking like a Computer Dork. :lol: :lol:

[Harold in CR]

Yes, Planning. Have to buy a piece at a time, and, those are no expensive, compared to building. Should be plenty stout, and, all ball joint construction.

Ideas, opinions ??

I will try to get a photo or 3 of the parts I have gathered up, so far. It's all in Florida, at the moment.

I too would love to convert the 300cc tadpole "Scooter depot" trike into a EV. How to buy one without the gas engine and rear swing arm? That is the question? They seem to have a lot of space in the saddle bags etc. to hide the batteries. I'd use a single enertrac hub motor for propulsion (mounted in the rear swing arm). I already have a dual electric hub motor "leaner" that is a delta configuration (See Stealth E-3)

its got similar elements as ur trike...

[Willow]

will be checking out that footage when I get home from work. I grew up on the Bones Brigade.

wish I had one of those longboards... thats me at the start of the clip, carving down the footpath.

super stoked with the video... hope it sparks some interest to get me to the next level.
