Hi had to make it that heading as it was the 1st place that it all started for me i did however come over here quick quickly after Smiley anyway may i indulge you..
Before the start…
Hi, those that don’t know me ”maybe guests reading it?” names Gareth aka VALLEYSBOY, Im hoping to portray a trike im having built by ByzMax.
I am going to contribute as a helping hand as much as allowed 
Byzmax lives in Windsor im in Wales so hopefully I’ll get 2 visits in per wk.
Donorbike  is a goldwing 1100 1984 model
Name of the Trike is gonna be named ‘Inspired’ For the Inspiration I gained from reading this wealth of knowedge and Help here on Brit Chopper Forum.
It will loosely follow a HotRod theme,front will be girders Independent back suspension.

I have wanted another bike/trike since I last rode which was about 10 years ago due to family concerns. Years have passed and my dreams have been many, my dreams were sparked into life again when I found this forum called Brit Chopper on the 17th Aug 2007.
Here I found people who were actually building things id dreamed of  I have had many asperations of building one on my own as I sure do feel ‘Inspired’ this is where reality steps in. I have demolished the garage and attached workshop to have a flat built for me  “docs reckon I’ll need it sometime” now I have to down size everything to fit into 2 corriders there’s 1 drive.

 I made a decision to have ByzMax lead the way and allow me to realise a dream and being allowed to work on it under the leadership of  ByzMax

So the start involved my 1st visit to meet reliantman as he had found a GW for me to look at 

Cuts down on the wind resistance though  Grin  It cost me a couple of miles to the gallon having a full head of hair.!!! Grin

Very nice, I'm sure Byz will do you proud.

PS reading your first post. I take it you've posted this on the Britchoper forum too. You forgot to edit it when you copied it on here  Smiley

Never met either of you but you should be easy to spot in a crowd with those nametags above your heads. Grin
That's gonna have to be a very narrow trike to fit in that corridor.
Looking forward to watching this one develop.
Good luck!  Wink
