High fella's, it's about time I introduced myself. The names Billy, hailing from deepest, darkest Birmingham. I have been a stealth reader (lurker more like lol), for the last couple of years. Well anyway, took the plunge in March, and started my own reliant build. Well rather, a co-operative build with my mucker Phil (He can weld lol). Not a lot else to say really, I will upload a few pics, so you can see the progress we have made, its a more a thank you to all you MM builders, cause you are both the inspiration and unknowing support for what will hopefully be my best ever project.

Thanks

Hey Billy.  Wink
Great looking trike mate! Very nice. Love the flat area around the gearstick, (might've made positioning the gearchange easier on my own build if I'd thought of that).
Welcome to our little fluffy World.   Kiss

Thanks for the kind words. Its the first complete ground up build we have ever done and we have encountered problems we never even thought about, but we are getting there (bloody slowly lol), lots of fiddly stuff to do yet, but there is light at the end of the tunnel  Wink

Good looking build. Takes ages (I know!) but very satifying to do.
