Title: Kapri's trike
Post by: Manky Monkey on November 30, 2020, 04:42:50 PM
Remember Kev?
He bought a Reliant trike from Big Dog 6 a few years ago. I went with him to collect it.
He restyled it to put his own mark on it & make it more user friendly, (Kev has all sorts of health issues).
He's just finished a 2nd make-over & took it for an MOT this morning. It failed on just the rear indicators not working, (he'd extensively rewired the trike, including the front flashers, but forgot to check the rears).
Hopefully an easy fix, then I look forward to seeing him racking up some miles on the roads of Hampshire.

The thing that looks like an exhaust is... an exhaust :)
Apparently not as loud as you'd expect.

Unusual place to have the exhaust, what's the reason for having it there

Just because he could I think! Kev likes to push the boundaries a bit, but has an extensive knowledge of test regulations, so I have no doubt it's within the decibel limit & external projections regs.
