1970 Harley Davidson Three Wheel Utility

Owned by Scott Ekx

Lil’ red is a 3 wheeler Harley Davidson cart that was purchased by Scott’s father Bob at auction 12 years ago for the family farm in Longmont Colorado. This cart was similar to a cart that Scott’s family had on the farm when he was younger.

Scott Ekx got together with Caleb Marks, his son in law, to rebuild this cart as a dedication to Scott’s father, Bob, who had terminal cancer. So the rush was on to restore the cart that what was very badly damaged from the every day use on the farm. After 5 ½ months the cart is now fully restored and Scott has a great street cruiser. Lil’ Red was done just in time to send photos of the restored cart to Colorado a week before Bob passed…
