Hello you! Welcome to our fluffy little corner of the web. Did you bring any cake with you? The trike looks good mate. Of course you'll be jotting down a few lines of explanation & emailing in half a dozen piccies so we can feature it in the Motors section won't you.  I'm halfway through building the frame for Rainbow's GS850 so stick around -I may need to pick your brains at some point! This is how it looks at the moment. |

Would definitely like to see some piccies of that!
Update on our rear disc conversion. Audi A4 & A6 calipers are a direct fit to the mark 2 Golf carrier brackets we use. They have slightly bigger pads & pistons &, being newer cars, may well be easier to get hold of.

As your only in Basingstoke, I would be happy to ride over one weekend.
Last time I had to stop there was to go to Court for speeding........ OOPS!!
(Still Judge was reasonable and got a heavy fine and no BAN and that was for 103mph on the M3, I woz ever so lucky had the nice copper been folowing me along the A303 he may well have got me for over 120mph.)
You could take your own Photo's then.

Yeah, sounds great. I've got no transport at the moment so might have to bum a lift with you to a suitably photogenic spot to take some piccies though. Whereabouts are you? You going to the 3Bs' rally at Bordon next weekend? I'll be there for the day on the Saturday for the custom show & evening fireworks. Got to borrow Rainbow's car for it though. Gawd, I've gotta get something on the road soon!

I'm in Taunton,
Where on Earth is Bordon? Sorry found it and I think I may be able to make the Saturday but not the evening.
Will get on and complete the rear seat then just in case.
You are welcome to a lift "IF" you think you can handle it.

If?! Ooh, a challenge! Bordon's on the A325 between B/stoke & Petersfield. Nice little weekend do. Loads of interesting bikes there. Always lots of trikes. Nice venue -a country hotel with a lawn sloping down to a trout lake with woods on either side. Custom show on the lawn on saturday afternoon. Bands & beer in a marquee, camping in the woods & meadows. Food vans or pub meals in the hotel. Very laid back. Check the Events list, (now linked to the calendar at the top of the page), or the Rallly/Show Photos bit for photos of last year's.
