Bikes parked out front mean good chicken-fried steak inside.

Not really a "Trike" by biker standards.  Lots of nice trikes out there.  This is someones 1970's attempt at a high performance "Three Wheeler" ATV.  Purely off road linage.

How difficult would it be to change it back to a motorcycle?  Switch back to forks and swingarm?

True, true. ATC would have been more correct. Given that the three wheelers were eventually
outlawed as too dangerous, I wonder how this thing handled. I also wonder how many exhausts were
lost trying to take that thing off-road.
