Vladimir Putin Rides A Lehman Trike

Published by Cyril Huze August 30th, 2011 in Builders and Events.

Yesterday, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin roared to a rally in the Black Sea port city of Novorossiisk riding a Lehman Trike. The black-clad Putin led a column of bikers, then delivered a speech about the “Indivisible Russian Nation” to his “Biker Brothers.”

I learned that Putin is up to re-election in March 2012 and that he loves to use “tough guy” antics to convince Russians that he is the country strong man. But I acknowledge I know absolutely nothing about politics in Russia. So I just hope that Lehman sells more trikes in this country. (AFP/POOL, Sergei Karpukhin)

    I wonder how “tough” he would be if he were to receive a “Seal Team Six Face Lift” …… the ‘ol double tap special …… just wondering.

    Is Leman Trike made in the USA? What happened too Ural ? How tough could anyone look on a Trike? I gave my tricycle up at four . I’d rather be seen on a Schwinn. ..Z

    Before opening-day, seems like every other scooter riding around Sturgis was a trike with an old Guy or Gal on it.
    So, why not old KGB guy?

    Too bad Lehman doesn’t make a trike conversion kit for earlier than ’97 Harley. I was going to buy one for my ’96 but no go after talking to them.

    Kind of nice to see the prime minister of Russia riding an American made bike to a Russian bike rally. Gotto be a message in their about good old American manufacturing.

    Normally I would leave a snarky comment, but since Vlad is ex-KGB and one tough mother, I’m going to pass.

    Haven’t you seen the Ural Trike? It looks like a Bedet.
