Merv, I'll put some more pictures up for you soon. But at the moment I'm just making up a couple of covers for the starter motor and the alternator. But I'm doing this in the garden in the Sunshine on a Workmate. At the same time I'm cooking a Bar-B-Q, so not much to look at really.

Thanks Dave. I will definitely need some input from you, as you managed to get your Trike through the test first time, that was a real achievement.

Just had a look for a thread on Bob's trike, but can't find one, so let's start a new one. A quick catch-up for those that haven't seen it before: I've either built, or had a hand in building, about a dozen trikes over the years, mainly little single seater Reliants. After building Flap's orange "Flapster", I stripped my current green one down & sold the rolling chassis to Ska Man, who painted it blue, bunged in another engine, forks & wheels & christened it "Blue Job". I then built a new frame around the old engine, axle, forks & wheels. And then life kinda got in the way. Nearly 8 years later I'd changed girlfriends several times & moved house -& the trike still wasn't finished. When I split up with Tanya, (Tazet), who I was building yet another trike for, I decided to sell mine. Enter Bob, a fellow Postie at the Basingstoke Royal Mail depot. He bought it, put it in his garage -& it's still there. That was 2 1/2 years ago. So this has been sitting around for over 10 years. Time it was finished I think. Bob retired a couple of weeks ago, so now he's got no excuse not to get it done -have you Bob! Is it nearly finished yet Bob

I saw Bob a couple of weeks ago when he turned up at my garage, (we live about 2 miles apart). I was busy painting parts of my Pop at the time, so not really in chatting mode. Ought to go & see him & ask if he's made any progress. I suspect not, but I'm not in a position to criticise -my own project's moving at a similarly glacial pace!

I'd forgotten about that one ! Must be nearly finished, just like the Pop.
