When I was in high school the local traffic/parking cop called Bud
Bickle drove one. We had a discussion about him the other day on this
FB group, someone said they sold off those trikes (with a big trunk
thing in the back) for a coupla hundred dollars at a police auction
years ago

It was a foot clutch, hand shift. Very old school Harley. Being a 3
wheeler, very manageable...
Unlike the 2 wheel version, it could even be ridden while intoxicated... so
I have been told... ;))
[Of course, intoxication never happened at the Frat house.]

Grat,
Was it one with the big shifter with the chrome ball on it, or a foot
shift? I always thought the hand shift option was cool.

Many, many years ago, I owned a Harley 3 wheel vehicle that was purpose
built and sold as a meter maid vehicle. It had the Harley 45 Cubic inch
flat head engine and was equipped with a reverse gear which was very
convenient. The box on the back was about waist high and made to hold
"cop
stuff". I found it was exactly the right size to make beer runs, with ice
for the Frat house.. so it got regular use.. ;)

I think the things the cops/meter maids drove were smaller, or
narrower.
That thing looks like it was meant to haul stuff like a JD “Gator”.

I saw that thing and was quite puzzled by it. You would need a
trailer,
or at least a pickup truck, and it is somewhat unusual, so maybe it
fits
the mold.
I remember cops used to drive little things like that for parking
violators, and the mailmen had them.
