Trikes
Just a Little Longer
Today has been a very productive day, by managing to combine the four main components of the vehicle to give us a platform to start building the engine cage that I really want on the trike.
Trike Spotter
Over the last few weeks the weather has improved quite a bit and the bikes and trikes have been out in force. Rally season is also upon us, so now we are out and about camping in fields and getting drunk in large marquees!
So Where Does This Go?
Bits have been arriving at the house over the last week or so, not least of which is the fuel tank. I have also received seats, springs, attaching parts and something a little special to keep the electrics all neat and tidy.

Trikes Ahoy!
OK I have decided to get into triking, and not biking. There’s a reason behind this so read on The main reason being that I am blind in one eye, and as such I didn’t feel confident in myself to be able to perform a life saver on my left side. That being said I […]
