Ohh Kev -I'm equally gutted mate. What the hell happened to you?!
We always say they're only vehicles & the people are more important -but thats a fun trike. I really hope it finds a good home -& that you'll stop breaking yourself.
Keep in touch please matey.

Would you believe I did it putting the engine back in the trike? LOL  . Had two chunky  mates doings all the lifting and one mount just wantde a 'slight' push to align it . I pushed ...but didn't realised it was wedged solid ...actually heard TWO sickening tearing sounds in my arm before it dropped to my sde and I couldn't use it.

I do sympathise as I can't ride any more either, but I'm coming to terms with it and so will you, but it takes a bit of time.

Unfortunately Kev's  shoulder is going to need a lot more than a bit of rest.

Are you sure you need to sell it? With surgery and time the shoulder will improve, if not get back to normall?

Kev's got quite a collection of custom car projects. I know he's been taking stock of them all & thinning his fleet a bit -like a lot of us, it's very easy to gather parts & vehicles until you find yourself overwhelmed by them all. Too many projects, not enough time let to build them all. That's why I'm sticking with the 2 I've currently got. No more. I think the trike was the one that would get least use if Kev's health problems got any worse.
