Although a lot of trike owners don't do a lot of lot of mileage i think the 1000 miles restriction is a joke.
Me too but we can get around this by owning several speedos Wink

Personally I only ever insure as T.P.F & T. As Andy says should it ever get damaged no garage/bike shop would want to repair it. I'm currently with "Whittlesey Insurance" for about £120 & 5000 miles P.A.
£147 tpf&t / 3000 miles. Thanks Pete

First real road outing (for the MOT) is on Monday. Not sure how the trike will handle, as so far all I've done is fairly low speed moving it about. This at first scared the wotsit out of me. 40 years of riding bikes and I found myself pushing the bars the wrong way, didn't realise quite how much counter steering had become an automatic reaction. Also clipped my first curb with a back wheel the other day. No damage but thinking of making an idiot sign to go on the handlebars to remind me that it's wider at the back than the front. Roll Eyes

 As I posted elsewhere the weight ticket has reared it's ugly head, after DVLA phoned and asked for a scan of the MSVA certificate. They decided that a weighbridge ticket would be required, as VOSA had put down the unladen weight. When I asked what the weight ticket should show, the answer was unladen. Huh
It's not a big thing, I was just trying to rationalise the registration procedure to as few steps as possible

Dave called at Loony's workshop this afternoon. I'd finished my Postal delivery & was killing some time before going back to do some overtime, so just happened to be there when he rode in.
I can confirm the "Deliverance" trike looks as good in the flesh as it does in photos. A beautiful job Dave.

What a very nice series of pics. of a particularly nice trike. Indeed something removed from the usual, and executed really well, nice one and an "'atta boy" to builder and photographer, really nice to see, and should prove an inspiration to those currently struggling on the enthusiasm front, perhaps Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue Tongue.Morrag

Thanks. Must admit that I'm rather pleased with the way it turned out in the end. Still some bits I'd like to change but that's always the way.
Nice pics Andy  Grin
Now have the weight ticket so that bits out of the way. Now just MOT and visit to DVLA.
 Beginning to think the end might at last be in sight.
 Our local weighbridge is only about 400 yards from Loony's workshop and a round trip of only 10 miles from home. Surprisingly nothing broke, fell off or failed to work . Cheesy
