Phoenix Trike Works is owned and operated by the Father/son team of Willis and Joseph Wilcken, specializing in hand-crafted, custom-built trikes...................................................... ..ABOUT WILLIS: The love of all things on wheels bit Willis Wilcken Sr at a young age. Much to the frustration of his father, he began modifying the family car while still in high school. By his early 20's, he had created his first custom car, a Morris Minor with a Buick V-8. He owned many motorcycles, but after laying down a bike with his daughter on the back, he wanted something a little more stable. He built his first trike in 1964, a completely hand-fabricated machine with a rake and stretch that was revolutionary. After building numerous trikes through the 60's and 70's, many of which have appeared in news and magazines, he went back to custom cars until his son re-infected him.............................................. ABOUT JOE: Growing up around all the custom creations in his dad's shop, Joseph never stood a chance. He began turning wrenches with his father when he was 15. After high school, he spent a few years working for "the man" in the corporate world. It didn't take too long before became fed up with it and returned to the grease and grime and good honest work of a mechanic. When the itch to build customs started to burn again, he noticed how far custom motorcycles had evolved while the current trikes still resembled tractors. After the prodding of a friend, and a second mortage on his house, he decided it was time to resurrect his dad's old trike design...................................................... ................ With Willy's know-how and Joe's creativity, they set out to create trikes the way they were truly meant to be, and Phoenix Trike Works was born .............With that in mind, we would love to meet anyone who interested in custom choppers, bikes, trikes, hot-rods and any type of radical custom work!!!
