Title: Aries Snake's trike write-up added.
Post by: Manky Monkey on March 07, 2008, 11:31:25 PM
Bazza, (Aries Snake), sent in some pics & a write up on his Rover V8 engined trike, "The Monster", so Taz & I have spent the evening creating a page for him in the Motors, 3 wheels section.

The Monster (http://mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/Trikespageimages/bazzastrike/bazzastrikerwords.html)

This stuff probably seems like child's play to the more computer literate among you, but to me at least, it's akin to piloting the space shuttle. Bear with us. Taz knows her way round a keyboard but is new to website management. I can barely type my own name. It's a steep learning curve but we're getting there.
Anyway, hope you like it Bazza. ;)

Hiya, that looks super :) You picked a couple of my favorite pics, too.. The heading really sets it off. And it dont look like you had to snip any. Only just seen it...Ive been Youtubing Iggy Pop all night after seeing him do a concert from 07 on TV. Cheers again  ;)

Im guessing that some will recognise it from the BC mag write up...its had a very gentle and subtle re-write  ;)

It's a good, informative write up. No need to shorten it at all. I'd much rather use an owner's own words than try to weave together something from a few scribbled notes. Apart from saving me a lot of work, they obviously know their machine best & can give insights into it's build or it's performance that I wouldn't be able to see from just a photograph. It's also more interesting for the readers if there's more than one writing style on the site. Doesn't have to be Shakespeare -just describe your machine as if you were talking to a mate who's never seen it. I can sort out any dodgy grammar if necessary.
Not everyone's discovered Brit Chopper magazine yet, (if you didn't know, PantherShaun's on the staff), so it's still a new machine to a lot of our readers.
Thanks again for the contribution AS.  ;)

Thanks. Yep, Im well happy with how its turned out :)  It handles and behaves so well...at all speeds. Worth every bit of time and effort by everybody involved. The only reason I got the other trike is coz I can take lil Billi, my daughter AND another adult on the back, plus I can get on/off and stash my chair on my own if needed. Otherwise the Monster totally floats my boat..... ;D
