My journey into trike building

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 3

Day three commenced with the usual circle of the trike to work out what needs to be done and develop a plan of action. We looked at the list, and it was suggested I started with the front marker lights and mount them on the rear mudguard.

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.

That Final Push

As you can guess there is still a lot to do and very little time to do it! With just 4 build days left I still have a very long list of things to finish off.

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!

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!!

Happy New Year!

First things first, Happy New Year to you all! I hope that the silly season brought you everything you wanted and you get everything you want in 2016! I have been way to quiet on here, but not with the project, and I will endeavor to update you on the progress being made.

Boing Boing – Part 3

As we had left the build with the A frames being assembled, it is now on to fitting those completed parts to  the main frame of the trike.

Red is the Only Colour – Redux

When I last posted about the frame, I had left it at the powder coaters ready for some colour to be applied. This has now been applied and I am starting to see the eventual look of the vehicle.
