Title: My Trike Probs are almost over :) Post by: Borgy on March 21, 2008, 04:37:53 PM As some of you know I was ripped off and butt fecked a few years ago by a so called 'charity club' in Cwmbran who ripped my Trike off. I was then stuffed up a second time by someone who lied and lied about sorting it out. Now it is in good hands and things have moved on.
I was also stung a bit on another Trike I got to replace the stitched up one. Bummer :( Well anyway I decided that it was totally pointless expecting things to go back to how they was and to cut my losses and move on. So the GS will be on EBay soon after a well known and much aprecated member has sorted it out. Thanks mate. The XJ will now be traded in for a new Trike that another friend of mine is making. With luck it will soon be on the road. OK so it has been built for its job, to pull my Pod caravan and get me touring. What I wanted to do some 6 years ago before the bastrds stole it. The engine is a 1275 race tuned Mini engine thats had a ford gearbox matted to it and then runs to a Moggie 1000 axle with disk brake conversion. The frame is being made so the sub section will un bolt and the whole engine and box can just be lifted away. The back end will have a curved boot which will have a cooker and stuff in it. it will have removable twin rear seats. A sort of pickupish back end if I remove the seats and 'cooking pack' Its going to be satin black and clean and basic. Heres some pics of the build so far.

Title: Re: My Trike Probs are almost over :) Post by: klogan45 on March 23, 2008, 09:25:41 AM Hello Borgy, bloody hell mate, you've been through it. Good to see that you're sticking with it though, I think that I would have given up.
Its looking good but how did you get a ford box to fit a mini engine :o I did'nt know that you could do things like that. All hail the Borgy ;D Keep at it mate and lets hope them as deserve it get their come-uppance. Regards K Title: Re: My Trike Probs are almost over :) Post by: reliantman on March 23, 2008, 01:54:15 PM Just thinking, the box is underneath on the Mini.
