hi all thx for support....I have got in touch with insurance and got that underway...Lucky for me I have another complete 535 that I was planning on selling in a few weeks that is now gonna be now used to rebuild the Trike...Just glad it was me on it and not the Mrs as she would not of had a clue what to do.....Its metal and can easily enough be rebuilt or at least used as a plan for the next Trike....Only problem is I was going to be taking it to Norway for 3 weeks in August so I now have a very tight schedule to get it sorted or replaced...If I cant get it rebuilt in time I will just get a Blackbird or similar to go on....Voodoo....

its made me pause for thought weather its worth carrying a small fire extinguisher when i go out you just never know it could happen to any one,its a real shame, glad your safe any way voodoo thats the main thing. [/quot Sadly the only fire extinguisher that would have had any hope would be a full sized one. Those lovely little things they sell in Halfords are of no use whatsoever on any fire (other than a box of matches alight on the floor). In fact a bike or trike fire (being out in the open) would need a dry powder extinguisher, and that stuff gets in everywhere. I had a bonnie chop catch light and a nice man from the waterboard put it out with a dry powder extinguisher. The powder got into all the oilways, even into the crank and it took me nearly two months to strip and rebuild the engine because of it. So basically if it looks no more powerful than a fart in a paperbag it is of no more use than a fart in a paperbag.  You have my deepest sympathies Voodoo, glad you`re safe. |

Just seen this post.
I know it doesn't help but what a bloody shame. There's not much of a bright side, you may be thinking but you're ok. Could have been a lot worse if you had been burnt as well. Three weeks, that's loads of time i'm sure and you'll get away one way or the other and enjoy it just as much.
Try and keep your pecker up mate.

Jeez Dave. Nothing more that can be said really, but just glad you escaped unscathed.
