Manky Monkey Motors

Just interested to find out where everyone heard of this site. If you think I have missed an option on the poll that should be there let me know and I will add it.
I heard through my ex so have to mark other. Think he found it by accident. Must have been fate :)

Desparate told me about it.

Found it while surfing the porn trike sites.

I Built It  ;D ;D ;D ;D

We're linked to porn sites? Cool!
There's no box for "I thunked it up then asked Yodie to build it for me".
Or "No-one else would let me join their sites so I had to start my own". :(

There you go you two. You can add your vote now  ;D

Triker Pete told me about this site ;D

Thereisn't an option for 'Mr Manky told me'

jus dropped on by accident unfortunatly searching for trike adaptions ::) and jus cant keep away, oh the pain  ;D or should it be the addiction ;D ;D ;)

if you need to blame anyone for my being here:

firstly blame blame my parents 

secondly blame a certain Mr Ireland!!!

There you go  ;D

After reading about the disc brake conversion in BSH for me,now I can't keep away,it's so friendly

found it by accident and now can't keep away, best forum going without exception ;D ;D

Manky heard about our trike and passed on a message that he wanted to see some pictures of it through someone he works with, who is in the same volkswagen club as I am. I met Manky earlier that year when he took some wheels I had for trikerpete, but I dont think he mentioned the site then. Which is unusual! ;)

Actually, I'm deliberately quite restrained about pushing the site. As Yodie says, far better for people to find us by recommendation. Tazet however constantly shoves cards at people at shows, much to my embarrassment!  ;D
The disc conversion was in 100% Biker by the way, unless you meant when it was mentioned in the recent feature on Flap's trike in BSH.
This is interesting. Prompted by Tazzie & I checking the site statistics the other night, (for admin eyes only!).
So far this month we've had 1916 unique visitors, (those who've never visited the site before), & 701768 hits.
April's been the busiest month so far this year with 2632 unique & 976015 hits, (not quite cracked the million mark yet).
Of course, only a fraction of the visitors to the site use this forum.
Tuesdays, teatime till midnight, are the most popular visiting time, while the link from the NSRA forum, (National Street Rod Association), provides the greatest number of visitors, followed by a couple of search engines, with Brit Chopper in 4th place.
Thanks for the compliments guys, but I can't take credit for the forum's popularity -it's you lot who make it the warm & fluffy little place it is.
Thank you. ;D

Take that bow mate, if it wasn't for you we wouldn't have this little family :-[ sorry got all mushy there ;D. I do have to admit that you have a very marketable product going here Andy. When I first visited the site I thought it was a professional outfit .
You could sell the merchandise for a small profit, plans for Reliant trikes (as I keep telling everyone who will listen, and some who won't >:( >:(, this is the premier Reliant trike site) but I do know that all that means little to you. You are far to modest mate and I hope Tazet keeps on raising your profile, as for me I'm actively looking for a cheap Reliant so I can join the club and I have already built it in my head ::) ::) ::) :-* :-*

Any professionalism's down to the magnificent Mr Yodles' very hard work. He somehow manages to put my visions here on the screen for all to see. Thanks matey.
I keep saying to Taz that the site logo's as good as any T shirt we see at meets & shows & the name's quite catchy. Took a while to come up with it &, again, it was a joint forum effort as you can see here:
http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=228.0
Wish I'd taken you up on that offer of a blat around the rodshow field on Bobcat -didn't want to make a prat of myself in public -or drop it!
Hurry up & get that trike out of your head & into your shed!  ;)

Trikes got to wait until I've finished ALL my other projects first ::) and Bobcat is available anytime you fancy a go mate, and falling off just adds patina ;D ;D ;D

Book me in for a test ride next time we come over your way.  ;)

See Manky - it pays to hand out MMM business cards.  And thank you Tazet for the top up yesterday!  ;)  Hope you both had a good day.

By the way, you need to add a little box for Business card on your voting page.  ;)

Thats quite ok Janie  ;D and Business card is now added  ;D

If you build it, they will come.
Janie, with word of mouth and a business card, Alton Cafe 19:50 just before I put my bike to bed as it has no lights.

Any chance of a copy of the business card? (scan will do)

PM me you're email and I will send you one. I'm sure we can pop one in the post for you too. This is what they look like but with more white on the sides (scanner did it square for some reason)
We used to have Andy's phone number on it but changed it as we thought it best.

It's not that we're pretending to be a business or anything, just that people always ask the name of the website or how they can get in touch & we've never got a pen or a bit of paper, so it's easier just to pull a card out of your pocket & hand it to them.

I have been asked a few times for the web address meself, so i thought those cards would do nicely.

Just sent you the card via email. Best thing would be if I print some off and send them to you rather than you trying to print them as the size of the picture in the scan is not very card like  ;D

very nice cards i thought we might have had a complimentry one popped in our shirt parcels to flash occasionaly ::) ;D

Ok will send you some too  ;D My poor printer.

greetings rapunzel is you ok an fluffy today ;D

Rapunzel haha not been called that before. Yes I'm ok just a bit stressed trying to get ready for a show with work but other than that life is very good indeed. How about you?

Porn :o :o, what ever is that ;D ;) ;D

Tazet..See reliantmans post ;D

Porn  ??? ??? where did you get that from  ???

not to bad thankyou having a few problems with me trike replacing more bearings but i will reach the end of the tunnel eventually ;D

Yes the light is getting bigger I can almost see it from here  ;D

Twisted and Dynatrike, I've printed some sheets off for you and as soon as I can get some A4 envilopes then they will be in the post. There is a dotted break line where you fold and pop the cards out. Is easier to send as a whole sheet rather than break them up first.

fairy snuff will wait at the letterbox with baited breath :D :D :D

 ;D ;D Ok best go now and help tike build of I'll get in trouble.  ;D

which one theres that many on the go yourn or mankeys or saddlebags ::) ::) ;D

Manky's one. Mine is not going to be touched untill his it finnished  ;D

but in the meantime whilst awaiting hoses whips up a frame for tazet  ::) ::) ;)

Not bought the pipes to do that yet. Wonder if Saddlebags has any left over  ;D

talking of pipes just jogged my brain cell as i dont have more than ,one my pipe benders not come back  :omy son lent it out a few weeks ago,you will have have words with sir and see when you can get yer pipes and have a bending and tacking party ALL HANDS ON DECK ;)

That could be an Idea. Party at mine but with a twist. Trike building as the party game  ;D

just nobble the local reliant trike posse mr flap &ska& err nige and mm ;D

Only a couple of problems with that. My house is in Guildford and they are in Basingstike and Manky has no electric in his garage but I have in my very large shed. Oh well I will get there eventually  ;D
Must go now all stay fluffy and play nice now  ;D

i thought you were supposed to be helping manky out with his machine of desire, take coke and cake as a peace offering ;)

Ok i'm going now.  ;D and I will

tata im listening for the car starting up . ;D

Just to rewind a bit "plans for reliant trikes" Yes please MM. Never bent a bit pipe in my life but just found out my mate Landy not only has a proffessional welder but a PIPE Bender as well. Says he can get me some pipe to practice with and let me loose on the welder as well. The fact I am building him an extention to his house cheep might have something to do with it.I know the site ain't a buisiness but whatever you charge could go to charity ie Monkey World

hi fred if you go to the top of page and look for www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk click on it then you will see the mankymonkey sign click on it then you will enter site look for motors, click on it then click on trikes page ,and there you will see all sorts of goodies a trike jig and how to put a trike together, good hunting gazz ;)

Cheers bud

doh just sent you a pm to make sure  ;)

Mr Fred, we don't sell plans cos we don't have any. Although they're all the same design, every trike is slightly different to fit the rider and suit their tastes. As Dynatrike says, check the Motors/three wheels section of the main site for the frame building write up. We use heavyweight ERW tube, (4mm wall thickness), which costs roughly £1.50/£2 a foot.

well added mr manky when i built my first trike, i had gone to a bike rally and later i roughly had an idea in my head how to set it out then santa, yes he does exist brought me my beloved pipe bender :P god knows how that came down our chimmney it was bloody heavy what did help was that i could already weld and had a very large 9" grinder a must for all trike builders and fabricators oh and baby one as well 4" ;) if you have got vision fred go for it you only live once, and build one the more the merrier ;)

I heard about this site through Mr. Manky  ;)

Mr MM took my pic and a pic of my old chop project at BFC's first outing - googled it and found the site ;D

This very photo. Chris is on the right.

Well, I've had to double the size of the site again. We were full up. For those that are interested in that kinda thing, we're now up to 4GB, which costs about 85 quid a year through ukhost4u.com  That should keep us going for a while. Next step will be to switch to a business package of 8GB at about 100 quid a year.
Thanks for your continued support people.  ;)

Hi Tazet. RE: porn where did you get that from? Please see reliantmans previous post, but as a matter of interest I have heard that its freely available on the interwebnet :o, though I don't look for it myself ;D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K

Oh right. Bet you have looked now though  ;D

 i  was just told to look for a bunch of like minded nutters  and all i could find was this site lol ;D ;)

I googled the screen name of a friend and found that he was registered on this forum so thought I would join as well.

So here I am and hello.

Caro

Oooooh!  Who's the friend, that's the burning question!

Sorry can't say.

muppet x

r u a stalker then??

nope...genuinely have a friend who posts on this forum. Just rather not say who it is...the relationship is not in the public doimain.

I'm no lothario but been in those sort of relationships several times in recent years -so I bid you welcome Lady M & respect your privacy. Hope it works out for you. Welcome to the site.

Many thanks

Hi babe, dont worry you can tell everyone now xx  ;)

The plot thickens!

It was meant to be our secret.

For the sake of the kids, it had to come out.
x

I'm hurt Nomad. What about ME  :'(  ;D

i heard you were one of the kids ;D

Bugger, you wern't supposed to tell anyone  ;D

There is always a special place in my heart for you Tazzy.

Hi guys.  ;)

I was told about the site by some friends of mine, not sure if you know them, Ann & Barry Smith from Maidenhead, Barry has a '41 Willys (Pitman) and is building a '33 Willys.
I've been browsing the site for a while and thought it was about time I got off my fat ass and joined so here I am, I'm Ralph, also from Maidenhead, but moving to Maidens Green, Near Bracknell/Ascot in the near future, if it don't all go tit's up.
No trike at the moment only an old banger but the plan is to build a Reliant based trike after the move, will have a garage then, wahoo :).
I won't bore you with all my ailments, lets just say I'm a bit of an old crock, lol, 60 going on 21 in my head, 60 going on 100 everywhere else.
Have some query's about build but will open a new thread in Trike Tech.
Well, that's me.........by the way Hello All, Ralph.

Hello and welcome to the mad house  ;D
You'll be not too far from Manky and myself when you move. Good luck with it all. 

welcome Ralph

Hiya Ralph.  ;)
Welcome to the site Sir. Another Reliant triker?! At this rate every triker on one of Tamworth's finest will be a forum member here! -no bad thing.  :) Nice to meet you. Kettle's on, fancy a cuppa?
Oh yeah, one of my duties here is to hassle newbies for vehicle write ups -any chance of nipping round to your mates' place & sorting some snaps & words on their Willys? Don't recognise the names but may well know the car. Maybe see you at the Bracknell breakfast run on 23rd March. ;D

Hi all, first I heard about the site of MADRON  8)and his bro SHABBY 8) and the ear bashing never stopped until I registerd ;) so now I am here to meet all the nutters of the world were I belong  :)

 ;D Welcome to the mad house  ;D

 ;D

No prob Daz if you want that tattooing on your other rib cage no prob at all m8 lol  ;D  ;D  8)

Howdo.

Doc (TP) said that I should introduce my self to the forum, So here I go I'm a bit of a bumpkin (not to be confused with bum boy) <-- hope this don't offend, I have been into bikes since I was quite young and took a constant interest in my grand dad's Triumph restoration projects (he has 5 he has built from scratch). I got my first bike in 2002, which was a Suzuki GS125ESR, which I loved; I had it for just over a year but sold it when I got my first car because it had carb problems. Since then I have acquired a 1984 Honda CD125TC Benley which had been off the road for 14 years and needed some work to get it back on the road which I endeavored to do. Passed my test in June 2007 and used the CD for about 7 months until I got bored with its lack of power and speed. Doc and I then started looking around for a new bike for me and I stumbled across a 1981 Suzuki GS250T and a 1980 GSX250 so I bought them both. They had both not been used for a few years and needed some work so I decided to get the GS running and pilfered parts from the GSX to do just that! I nicked the Wheels, Carbs, Air Filters (K&N's) and some of the electrical system. Got it MOT'd after the third attempt, taxed it and now take great pleasure in blatting around on it as much as I can!

Joined the forum to peruse for information, help and a laugh and maybe even pass on any help to others that I can.

Would also like to thank Doc for his help with bike problems that I have encountered and for introducing me to the Manky Monkey web site.

Cheers all, Zipwanger.

welcome bumpkin i mean zipwanger ;D

Welcome Zipwanger I havn`t been here long myself but I already feel like one of the family

'Bout Bloody time too Zippy!

Zippy huh, hmmmmmm I like it!!! Cheers Doc!  ;D ;D ;D

Welcome Zippy,you don't have mate called Bungle do you. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Welcome to the family Zippy  ;D

Yup, that odd cousin we don't talk about.  :P
Welcome Mr Zip. Make yourself at home mate. I hear you're off to your first show with Twisted this weekend. Enjoy! 

Thnaks guys I already feel right at home here lol. :)

Well get the kettle on. Mines a coffee and Manky drinks Diet Coke lol  ;D

AAAAH thanks Manky  ;)

 :P   :D

An mine's a pint of Guiness!

and roll a J ;D

welcome mate see you have settled in already

Heard about the site from Dave (twolanes) been pestering me about joining for a long time..lol, but i'm here now :)

and this was such a nice place, its all down hill from here.  :'(

Hiya Steve. ;)
A very warm welcome to our little fluffy world Sir.
 Now -about a write up on your car... ;D

welcome :) there are some sensible ones here....im not one of them ;D

Cheers mate!!! nice to know you care ;D
Thanks for the welcome guys...looking forward to the Basingstoke show and meeting a few of you

will u be in the Nova ?

I'm sensible!  ;D 

Hi and welcome to the world of mankyness. Hope you like jaffa cakes - LOL

Love jaffa cakes! lol thanks
VB yes mate definetly be in the Nova ;D gonna drive down there with twolanes and maybe a few more!

Look out! The Yanks are coming!

Hiya Steve, Welcome to our little world  ;D So glad to hear you are coming to Basingstoke to join in with us.  ;D

Thanks for the welcome Tazet..
MankeyMonkey will do a write up on my Nova real soon...promise :)

What like "the cheque is in the post"  ;D

huh? i have to pay? lol

Well if you feel you must... :D

is it working

Yup so far, thanks to Yoda.

Mouse told me about it, then he tells his dady everything, yeah right, lol

I found it in the BSH mag when they did The Flapster! I thought I'd at last found someone that had similar ideas in their heads to me! But still need to somehow turn mine into something similar!

It's easy- Flap's is built out of old Jaffa Cake tubes & sticky tape.

don`t forget the paintable bluetack  ;D

i emailed yoda and he sent me here !!!

You can't get a higher recommendation than that!  ;D

Followed a web thread posted on another triker site while researching Reliant builds.

Very impressed, like the threads, information and builds.

Especially like the styles of reliant trikes being made, short, compact, neat and stylish.  Would like to see one with a independant rear suspension.  (Bad back a'nall).

Will post a introduction sooooooon. ::)

Got it first hand from Manky, stranded on some freeway somewhere in your country...

Being helped by Manky and his friend made me belief in the goodness of mankind again  ;D

Greetings from the Netherlands, Limpe

welcome to the funny farm (or shud that be ZOO??) Limpe

Welcome Limpe. See we are not all that bad.  ;D

A very warm welcome to our windy, rainswept little isle Limpe.  ;D
I've had a couple of emails from Limpe this evening, with a spec sheet for the yellow sedan & some words on his lovely XS. He's off on a night flight somewhere this very evening so it's literally Hello & Goodbye from him for a couple of weeks. We'll sort out the vehicle features when he gets back.
Nice to have you in our fluffy little World Sir.  :D

A couple of close ups of the artwork on the Yam to whet your appetites.

The bike was taken from Holland over to Belgium for the lovely striping to be applied by "ElCheapo".
Nice.  8)

jayne told me about it and showed me the other day ;D

Hello Pauline  ;D
Welcome to our little World. If I remember correctly, you run an old Vauxhall estate car don't you? Are you the lady we met with Dave & Janie at the Ace Cafe hotrod night? How about a write-up & some pics then huh, huh?  ;D

welcome Pauline ;D

Hello and welcome  ;D

hello yes i am sorry abount the delay been trying to get the 100e to start :(

will do a write up soon promise

Hi guys, newbie here.

Have popped into your site quite a lot lately but found out about you a couple of years ago at the south west show (great display there btw).

Thats where I decided I had to have one of 'those trike things', they just looked so coooooool.

Hopefully going to get started soon. :-\

I've never done anything like building or fabrication so should be fun ::)

Simple.

hi m8 welcome to the site

Hello and a warm welcome to you Mr Simple  ;D You are not the first and won't be the last to come on here having never built anything before so just sit back enjoy and if you have any questions I'm sure someone on here will have an answer for you. Good luck and most of all have fun in what you do.  ;D

thanks for the warm welcome.

my biggest problem at the mo isn't my complete lack of knowledge but my complete lack of power in my garage >:( (only have a small Gennie in a lock up the other side of my estate)

Simple

Same as Manky then. The lock up that he has his trike in has no power either. He started the trike off in Skaman's garage where there was power and now has to finish it in the dark. He brings stuff home to do in the shed but that's a 38 mile comute so to do something that would take 5 mins actually takes about 3 days. Where the pop is has power but when he's there he's busy trying to build the pop and not the trike Catch 22 whichever way you look at it. My trike is in the shed at home with power etc but we will have to dismantle it to get it out the door when it's done.

Wouldn't it be easier to take the end off the shed?????!!!!

My shed is the only place i have any power, Mrs T holds all the power indoors  ;D

er no. That would invovle dismantling the shelf we have at one end and the bench would need modifying as it't bolted to the ends of the shed too. We could probably get it out by removing the wheels and lifting the back out.

Hi Si  ;D
As usual, I've been beaten to it with the Welcomes, but welcome anyway.   ;)
We displayed at the Shepton Mallet show 2 years running, plus I had my old red Reliant on show in the main hall many years ago & my green one, (now Ska Man's blue one), was also in the main hall. It's amazing how often I chat to people who say Yeah, we saw your trikes at Shepton. Seems we made more of an impact than we realised at the time.  :)
As Tanya said, even small jobs become major ones in my lock-up. Without a power supply, just marking out & drilling a hole requires a trip home & back. It's certainly not impossible though & all my vehicles have been built that way or in various borrowed garages.
We plan to build a much bigger workshop/shed/trike garage at some point next year, so might end up dismantling the existing shed around Taz's trike when it's done!
TB, I don't hold the power anywhere mate.  :) 

Welcome to the site Simon.  Theres plenty of us newbies about, but the very welcoming here and friendly to boot.
(but hide yer Jaffa cakes). ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's a well known fact that Jaffas evaporate when left unattended here.   :P

There's a possibility I might be able to use my dads garage but they have not been too well (mum with cancer and dad with Parkinson's) so they are thinking of moving somewhere smaller and on only one floor (so prob no garage :'()

It's just a matter of timing. I cant start the build yet as money is v.short (going to do some o/t at work (already do 50hrs a week)) then need to find donner p/pig, buy tube bender (already have welder) and some other tools and then away I go. the main target is to have it on the road by next winter, its harder to fall of with 3 wheels ;D

Simon

hi simon welcome to the site there are very nice here.

I dont have a garage am working out side which is fun with the wearther at the mo.

hope you get the project started soon

I was chatting to someone today who had spoken to a farmer just an hour earlier, who said he had a couple of complete Reliants & 5 engines, plus spares on his land & wanted shot of them.
Yeah, I know, I'll chase it up.  ;)

loads of Reliants in cornwall plus loads of other old cars its like living in the past

GOOOOGLED RELIANT TRIKE ...... GOT THE FLAPSTER BUILD & MANKYVILLE !

Hey Manky that was'nt a bloke called Ray from Totnes in Devon was it?
Regards
K

No idea mate. Unfortunately, as is often the case, I never heard from him again.  :(

what he said....  ;D

 ;D

lunatic an pd told me bout it :)

Hello and welcome to the mad house ;D

other set of disc caliper hangers for a reliant on ebay ;D

just edited this remembered ziggy told me about the site ages ago
as he mentioned me in his trike write up (tezza)
but i was more into my race bikes then

Aah, sometimes it takes a while to find the true path.  :)

think it was surrey street rodders site i think when i clicked on a link to look at the show pics

Yeah, we get a lot of that. Show organisers hook up to our galleries through their sites to show their events. Fine by us, as long as we get a credit for it. Welcome aboard mate.  ;)

One of our friends is a member - he told us about the site ...
Came along to the meet today at "The Plough Inn" - met some lovely friendly people ...
Actually registered for the site this evening instead of being a secret lurker !!!! :o

 ;D Hello and welcome to the fluffy mad house  ;D

you site was recomended by a member of nabd biker gran  :)

 ;D Yup we all know Bobbi, aka Bikergran

From PantherShaun, good enough recommendation for me!

 ;D Glad to hear it  ;D

 
 
 


 >:(

Hiya Brett  ;) & a belated welcome to the site!
Yeah, we're like driftwood on the shoreline -everyone washes up here eventually  :)
You'd be suprised how many people never visit the forum while they're here -or only use the forum & never visit the rest of the site. So you're a genuine Tasmanian Devil then? Whatcha building? Got any piccies to share with us?
We're always looking for more content for the site, so if you've got a bunch of event photos, send 'em in & we'll bung 'em on.  ;)

 

  >:(...

Welcome Tasmonkey!

Our next door neighbours were returning to Oz and he had a kit car he's built with a 1600 engine in, he wanted to put a 3 litre lump in it so he was busy all hours of day and night in the garage getting it all done before he went cos he said the only way was to register it here them import it to Oz!

Pity when people's creativity is stifled.

welcome ;D

Many years from now , alien archaeologists from a far distant planet will be sifting through the rubble of a long dead planet , they will find a room , in this room will be a box . After many years of research they will discover that the box was a type of data storage device , after over a decade of study by the best minds on their home planet they manage to access and decipher the data contained within , they will deduce from this data that the owner of the box was a member of a sect that worshipped vehicles that ran on a type of fossil fuel , this fossil fuel it seemed to the aliens , had been through war and pollution the cause of the ultimate destruction of the planet , only one name could be recovered from the ancient device ... thought to be the 77th. member of his clan ( or really really old ) ,  that name will go down forever  in the history of this distant alien planet  .......  that name was   "Cabman77"  "Destroyer of worlds"  

     so you see you are not just a mortal  ...  you will become  Immortal  

  ..  Hagar  ..   ;D

No wrong directions, some routes are just more ..interesting than others.  ;D

Hi Chris, welcome to the wonderful world of the downright deranged.

I was surfing ebay

Ford model Y being sold and whoever was selling it dad was ill and someone made a comment about him being on this site.

I took a look

All roads lead to Manky Monkey Motors! - I guess that was my ebay post that brought you here then!

found the site while trawling the www for trike info

Hullooooo.  ;)

Thanks for the hullooo MM and after reading some of the threads on here I reckon I should fit right in nicely  ;D

Found about the site via orange trike article in BSH and Andy's green trike, excellent  :) :) :)

Hiya.  ;)

Told about it by Biker Gran via the NABD site, know one or two on here and look forward to learning more about trikes.

Stix

welcome stix.

Welcome stix, enjoy the forum

Hi stix. welcome to Manky madness.
Lots of trike knowledge ( and other stuff ) on this site.

I think I found this forum when I was trawling the web for info on trikes.  Seems to be a common way off ending up here.
Recognise some names from another forum

Thanks for the welcome guys, just looking around at the moment and reading all, well most of the posts. ;D
