You've obviously got way too much free time on your hands!

Everyone who disappears from an Oz soap re-appears - if not in the same one then in another! Same with the films - I reckon there's only about a dozen actors in Oz!  |

What about Skippy the bush kangaroo? He was a brilliant actor.

Never seen him in anything else since though. Typecast for life I guess. Probably semi retired & doing guest cameos in the soaps now.
Hey, where'd everybody go? We had 10 guests online a few minutes ago, 4 of 'em were reading the Billing hotrod run thread. Now they've all disappeared!

He got the job as Yoda in the new starwars film - hence the higher jumps Yoda |

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but money has to be made.
There are the bike shows that are just put on by the manufacturers, and the show and shine type by the small clubs. Nothing at all like Sturgis.
Trikes are yet to catch on. I have probably seen less than 30 in the last 30 years! Some of the tourist traps have them. Ayres Rock is one.
DMV tells me that there are 2 registered in this hick town. Both started life as HDs.
OK, who is Harold?
Yes, sadly we do have BB. Been on for years, never watched it.
Back to the original reason I dropped in: Knowledge!
Is there a "Trike Builders Bible" out there? Looking for something really basic. Something that covers all types of trikes and the pros and cons of rear suspension. Also, the art of bending pipes into a frame.
I have a stick welder and I know how to use it, but I will get a MIG. The question is gas or gasless?
Thats enough question for now.
Job No 2 is calling...........

Evening sinner -or is it morning? Even I know who Harold is & I don't even own a TV! Not sure if there's a definitive book on trike building, but plenty of UK sites that have extensive tech sections. I'd recommend http://64.172.168.34/neatstuff/index.htm or http://www.chopperbuilder.co.uk/as a starting point. Chris, ("Desperate"), has been in & out of the business longer than even he can probably remember & if he hasn't done it at some point it probably can't be done. Check his own site at http://www.chrisireland.co.uk/All in our Links page. The forum of 100% Biker magazine http://www.100-biker.co.uk/also has a large triking contingent so a good pool of knowledge to draw from. Can't believe you've got so few 3 wheelers over there. I'd have thought it'd be ideal country for them. Sorry, I've forgotten -where abouts are you down there? In a city or out in a tin shack in the bush somewhere? Do you get the British magazines in Oz? Is Ozbike still going? Personally I use a 130 Mig with 0.8 wire & Argonshield gas welding mainly 4mm thick plate & tube. So what's the job? I'm a Postie. |

Hi, Sinner. The reason people over here use a Reliant axle, is that, because they came out of a three-wheeler, they must be the ONLY one to use. Pretty dumb really, especially when they find they can't buy decent wheels or change axle ratio's. All mine had Ford axles, apart from the big ones, which had narrowed Jag IRS units.
However, with the very early Reliant axle, it wasn't too difficult to convert them to chain drive.
I have indeed built a few, Manky. Only about 6-7 hundred, mind. Here's my last one. Have a look on my site. There's a Q/A bit on the forum. Chopperbuilder is very good.
