Nah not my trike - some guys thats waiting for SVA work, but taking up room in the workshop.

Still can't get to it. Have got a couple of days off so may be having words and trying to clear all the crap out of it to start cutting it about.


Cool photo by a friend.

Been for a play today which was cool. Rule was this -

Had to leave the workshop, which it did yesterday, before I could start on this properly. Pics!




Stuff to make it solid!

Bike's looking rude bud! Looking forward to seeing you pimping that up to the summer meets. Needs a pillion for Rachel though. :grin:

Bug looks hard work but plenty of promise.

not much now. Just needs some bolts changing, then sling it in for Mot. If I get on with it, use it till the winter and then strip it for paint. If I don;t get on with it, strip it and paint it black and sell it!

Yeah it's some pretty savage work needing doing to it, but think it's just general stuff that they all pretty much need and thinking about it, it's nearly 50 years old (it's a 64) and I don't think it's ever been looked after, so hopefully once it's done it'll be solid and actually worth some money. I bought it pretty cheap - don;t think I've slung a grand into it yet including the cost of the car.

Looking forward to starting now! :evil:
