Unless you can pull some sort of trailer, or have a sidecar (not sure 
what you mean by trike), I'd really recommend staying away from 
systems like the MicroVAX 3300, and MicroVAX II.  I'd prefer not to 
hear about you being crushed by a VAX.  Hint, they make nice 
end-tables.

VAXstation 3100's could prove interesting, but should be totally 
doable, plus they'll be easier to get up and running.
