Trikes
Test Day
Well, that was interesting. I took the trike to the Exeter VOSA station for its MSVA test, and which I have been stressing about for the last 3 months, and which didn’t quite go to plan.
That Final Push – Day 4
Today I managed to finish one of the jobs that I started last week, and that was the mudguards. I made a decision 2 weeks ago to postpone the test till 26th July. this is due to the fact that progress was to slow and the outstanding jobs where to great to make it to test […]
That Final Push – Day 2
Following on from yesterdays progress more has been achieved. As you may recall I had made a list of 14 things that had to be complete before going to MSVA.
Woohoo!
Ladies and Gentlemen, for my 40th post I would like to announce that I am now the proud owner of a trike that moves under its own power!!!!11!1 This momentous occasion comes to you via the guys at the workshop and myself working hard and getting the gear linkage sorted!
Just Keep Swimming (part 2)
Having left the main start power installed in the previous part, I moved on to the next step by installing the start relay and engine wiring. This means that these will be some of the longest running wires on the trike.
With Great Power (part 5)
After all the fun we had trying to start the engine last time, we thought we would attempt it again, following installing some of the wiring for the trike. This time it was a huge success!!
Boing Boing – Part 2
Last time we had just finished the installation of the inner bearings on the A arms and had prepped up ready to install the outer bearings.
Red is the only Colour
I managed to get the last bits on the trike welded and took the frame down to get powder coated (about time!)
Happy Birthday!
I just realised that today is exactly a year since I started this project and I thought I would celebrate this milestone with a small post! Hopefully whilst you are reading this I will have been down at the workshop doing a final check and then getting it away for powder coat!
What you looking at?
I was asked the other day about what I am aiming to make this trike look like. Well I have a few ideas but most of the design ideas are in my head, however I am basing this trike on a picture I have.
