Full lock to the right. I know this is contrary to the norm for bikes but it is easier this way, the lock can be accessed curbside, saves walking around the trike and I always get on from the left anyway. It can also lock with the bars to the left but it leaves a lot of movement in the bars and access to the key hole isn't as good. As far as the MSVA is concerned it only has to stop the vehicle being driven straight ahead.

Are you going to hide the heads of the screws on the lock or are they anti tamper screws? It may make a difference to the tester  |

They are anti tamper in as much as the hex has been rounded out after fitting plus the use of thread lock. Removing the lock will require removal of the yoke and drilling the heads off. That or cutting through the 6mm thick mounting plate. Either way, not something I'd want to do at the side of the road so better not lose the keys  . |

Not that I have ridden the trike  but think that I may need to fit a steering damper, until I change the forks for girders with less trail  Also discovered that perhaps having the throttle on the left, may not have been such a good idea as I have a tendancy to get on the throttle, after a gearchange but before getting my hand back on the bars and the change in weight on the front wheel makes it a bit squirrely. Of course the snow don't help much. |

According to the manual you can't use any of the braking system |

Yup, if we get organised enough to do a MMMotors calendar for next year that's going to be the December pic.

Yeah, what we really wanted was Dave in a Santa suit, riding it in the snow, with the back piled high with pressies.
