About the April Cover...

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't Move That Ramp!!!

 

Triadics is extremely fortunate to have a very talented artist who was born in upstate New York in the foothills of the Appalachians overlooking the Catskills and has been all over the eastern side of the U.S. An orphan for most of it, he even hitchhiked up and down the east coast before he was eighteen. Not unlike a lot of Triadics members, he rode a bike all his life until he had to switch to trikes, because of his knees.

 

A commercial artist for forty-five years, he has done everything under the sun - cartoonist, sculptor, oil paintings and everything else that has to do with drawing. He's laid paint on everything that flies, floats and rolls. He did the cover art for Triker Magazine for fourteen years and other publicated cartoons for nineteen years. Many of our members will be pleased to learn that an old friend is back with us and on the run. We appreciate this contribution to our Triadics newsletter and welcome to our Triadics Family and the Ozarks Branch in Branson, Missouri, Blackfoot Willie!!!!

From the Triadics Family...

Dear Friends,

 

On behalf of the Triadics family, we would like to once again take this opportunity to thank and welcome everyone who has joined Trike Talk and Triadics. We are also extending an invitation to everyone to join who has not yet done so. Our group was formed in December, 2014 and chartered in Missouri in January, 2015 with a mission to provide a family structured atmosphere where folks with a love of triking and riding could join to fellowship together, swap tech talk, ride and provide a positive presence in the community. We wanted to build a family in which all members could feel they have an equal say in the direction of the group. We would like to thank everyone who has gotten involved and is helping us make that happen.

 

Triadics was conceived by Jim “Hillbilly” Sickler as an alternative to a corporate structured entity where folks could get back to the “roots” of it all. The Triadics family was built on three - three wheels and three principles - Family, Truth, and Loyalty.  The family is structured like a “family tree” with branches springing up around the country and coming soon near you. Each branch consists of a Leader, a Ride Leader, and a Branch Recorder. The branches meet monthly or even more often in most cases, for fellowship and to enjoy each other’s support. 

 

Did we mention there are no dues? That’s right! It costs you nothing to join our family and you don’t have a participation quota to meet or have to feel pressured to ride any specific ride. Yes, everyone with a love for the open road, be it on 2, 3, 4, or 5 wheels, or however you roll, is welcome. You can be a part of the group and experience great times for yourselves.

 

No patches are required, but patches and t-shirts are now available on our Triadics Country Store and we accept Paypal. Everything sold will be at minimum cost with no profits going to individuals in the group. No salaries or profit in any way will be made by any members and all group business will be voted on by members with no one person having more say than the next.

   

Anyone who has not yet joined is welcome to come aboard and become a part of our family to join in on the gatherings soon to come to areas in their neck of the woods. Everyone will have an oportunity to take part in charitable events and receive all the benefits of being associated with a family network focused on supporting its members and having a great time together. However, there will be no obligation to donate any time or money. So there you have it - no dues, ride whatever and whenever you want, and help us give back to the community, if you want to participate, while you hang out with some good ol’ guys and gals. 

 

If you’d like to know more, check us out at Triadics.net - click Forum or Website. Forum takes you to Trike Talk, where you can join and participate in our discussions. You have an option to login with Facebook. Click Website to access a Triadics member application on the home page. Click the red button, "click to JOIN TRIADICS" and fill out the member application form. Only the branch leader in your area will be provided with your information, so you can be informed about the closest branch to you and stay in contact with your local group. 

 

Triadics is really growing. We have nine branches with another one in the works and we already have members in 25 states, which is half the states. We would love for you to join us in our first family reunion in Eureka Springs, Arkansas on June 5, 6 & 7 at the Wanderlust Campground. It will be a wonderful opportunity to reunite with old friends and make new ones. Details about Wanderlust Campground, along with a map and reservation information, are on the website. There are also several motels close to the campground and a lot of good restaurants nearby. Hope to see you there.

 

Remember - it costs you nothing to be a member of Triadics!

 

Sincerely,

 

Derek “Lefty” Martin - Home Branch Leader

Jim “Hillbilly Jim” Sickler - Founder
