mmmmmmmmmmm trike building time scales.............mmmmmmmmmm think about it six months to find engine 6 to find diff,, 6 to find forks, then there is all the fidly bits the thinking the drinking ..................

should be flying close to next millenium, sorry couldnt resist that but trike building is an art not a science and artists tend to be slow, fooking slow or even slower.


hope you dont have an artist building it, good luck m8, nice motor by the way.

[technoboiler]

is it finished yet! :p

[blackhack]

looks like a bit of a plug to me.......(green with jelousy)

[dracken1]

looks like a bit of a plug to me

it is in fact an unashamed plug,i admit it.

i get satisfaction selling parts,bodyshells,frames to people. and its not purely for financial reasons.
i like to think of trikes out there that are running around with my bits on them.

but it is also very rewarding business wise when you supply parts to someone who intends to build a show winner ;)

Hey Dracken...I wasnt having a dig mate...I was refering to that old plug of an engine that hes probably bought from the E&T secondhand engine company
which was why i said ....green with envy

sorry if you took it the wrong way......

[Yoda]

i will have you know that the E&T company have very reasonable prices and the lifetime guarantee of the engine lifetime or whenever fitted is a favourable one
so they beat me in to saying anyway
