Title: Nearly there at last. Post by: superman on June 02, 2013, 07:49:36 PM Think I am just about ready to book the MSVA, after several trips to local DVLA office eventually got a new frame number. All stamped into frame and paperwork signed and returned, just need to get trike onto local airfield for a test run first.

Post by: superman on June 02, 2013, 08:32:51 PM Plenty of straight road but have to dodge the sugerbeet and the local parachute club :D

Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: superman on June 02, 2013, 10:20:22 PM Thanks MM, been 2 years in the making but very close now. I hope..
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: Manky Monkey on June 02, 2013, 10:38:14 PM Needs the Superman logo on the tank!
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: superman on June 03, 2013, 12:16:02 AM Was supposed to have one made for the top of the tank by a local graphics company but got sick of his excuses why it was not done and gave up after 2 weeks of waiting. Obviously my meagre sticker was not worth it to them >:(

Post by: Manky Monkey on June 03, 2013, 02:13:22 PM Not heard from Clive for a while, (taking time out from airbrushing to care for his parents), but doubt he could compete with that price! (£1.99).
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: superman on June 04, 2013, 07:16:07 PM Wanted the logo to be 10 inches wide to cover the tank top. Had the trike out today on local airfield, run like a dream but scared the crap out of the wife ;D

Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: Olds on June 04, 2013, 07:45:53 PM ;D First time I rode mine it scared the wotsit out of ME! I thought what the hell have I made.
Nice looking trike by the way. Another one soon for the road :) Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: Manky Monkey on June 04, 2013, 08:06:26 PM Yup, must be a common reaction -I remember thinking, My God, I've created a monster!
I don't think those first couple of wobbly rides around the block are ever how you imagined they'd be. Once you adjust your riding style & get used to their idiosyncrasies though, trikes are a lot of fun! Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: superman on July 24, 2013, 11:36:15 AM Passed the MSVA on Monday, 2 years of hard work was worth it ;D. Got mot tomorrow and then onto the local DVLA office to register the trike.
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: Olds on July 24, 2013, 11:52:19 AM Well done that man. ;D
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: andyrennison on July 24, 2013, 12:56:19 PM Congratulations, and well done :)
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: twisted on July 24, 2013, 04:53:09 PM really pleased for you mate, well done ;)
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: hunter on July 24, 2013, 05:35:38 PM Well done.
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: Manky Monkey on July 24, 2013, 09:15:33 PM Hurrah!! ;D
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: superman on July 24, 2013, 09:19:55 PM Thanks guys, don't know if any one else has heard anything but the tester at the Vosa centre said that they are closing the sites down, some before the end on this tax year?
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: Manky Monkey on July 24, 2013, 09:28:32 PM Yup, been much discussed here & elsewhere, though no-one's quite sure how the system will operate after that.

Post by: superman on July 25, 2013, 06:47:19 PM ;D Road legal at last, passed mot no problem and less than an hour at Lincoln DVLA office came out with paperwork to get numberplate and a years road tax. Very impressed with the inspector at Lincoln, been very helpful from obtaining a vin number back in March until completing the registration today.
Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: Manky Monkey on July 25, 2013, 07:50:17 PM If he'll be looking for a job soon, maybe it'd be nice to drop him a quick line, thanking him for his efficient, helpful service. ;)
Well done chap! In the words of Billy Connolly- one more of us, one less of them. Another fully legal custom build on the road. When do we see some pics of the happy owner on his first road trip then? Title: Re: Nearly there at last. Post by: trikerpete on July 25, 2013, 08:06:46 PM Congratulations, take care out there :)
