Title: Twisted Patience turns 18.
Post by: TwistedPatience on July 25, 2017, 01:13:16 PM
As some of you know Patience had her 18th MOT today and apart from the handbrake cable pulling out of its clamps, she passed.
Never thought that would happen.
Thanks to this site and all who contribute as you have all helped me keep going despite wanting to sell her every winter.
Here's to another year on the road.

Yup, congratulations. I keep saying it, but yours is the longest surviving trike in regular use I know & proves they're not just a quirky gimmick. Well done. :)

Of course it is ossifer it has the same reg and frame number.
Truth is that half the parts it was made of are either extinct or second hand crap, I update it whenever I can, with whatever is available and in my price range ( f. all).
