Post by: Chevy Rick on October 16, 2015, 03:19:58 PM
Called into my local speed shop today Reid Performance, to be confronted with this beast straped down to the rollers of the Dyno. not as good looking as some trikes I have photoed ( head lights for one ). 2ltr Ford.

I'd have thought that was hard to steer. Plenty of room for the family though.  :D

Looks very like Desperate Dan's build style. Q plated, so presumably been MSVA'd, which shows what will & won't pass.
So how did it do on the dyno?

I've yet to make the acquaintance of Mrs Stinkey -missed you both at the Popham bike show, but if she puts up with you mate, she must be a saint!  :D

marred

Sorry for the bad spelling, that should of said married. I had a bad fall yesterday, I fell of the conservatory roof while stepping onto a ladder, I have bashed myself up quite badly and scratched my glasses so I cant see out of them very well, not something I recommend doing, I'm over 50 and not exactly light it came as quite a shock.
