Here is the beginnings of the foam sandwich composite body for the New SS beatle back morgan replica. The floor is done and the back bulkhead is done. This is great fun to build with your Sons or Daughter. Jared and Kimball have helped allot and even Spencer my youngest has helped.
Here are the bulkheads 1,2,3 and 4 attached to the floor. The rear bulkhead remains to be attached and then we will start doing the sides. I am missing the seat which will put me up an additional 6-8". This will look very much like the picture below. Just stretched a little for a bigger person like me. No hip hugging in the CMW reverse trike. And of course left hand drive (meaning the steering wheel is on the left).

Morgan: The Classic Reverse Trike


This is a Super Sport Beatle Back Morgan. Approximately a late 20's to early 30's. With a Matchless v-twin engine.

This is a 1936 Super Sport Barrel Back. Classic Morgan.

History of Crockett Motor Works






My first thoughts of a trike started in the 7th grade or so. Back in the early 80's we did not have the internet...And I could not find any trikes other than the one Leonardo DaVinci drew in the late 1400's. So here are a few pictures of my first prototype. The trike in the photo above was built from 1985-1987. My younger brother Brandon would ride on the bike and shift the gears before we had it all put together. The Engine was a Honda V65 Magna 1100cc. 116 HP. Man was it fun to drive, very fast. All the fun of shifting and quick acceleration of a motorcycle with the safety of seat belts and a roll cage.
