A bit of a Mad Max moment........

Post by Maz »

So I started building this trike for a local sister just before I shut the shop around 3 years ago, she wasn't able to finish it herself so we agreed to put it in to storage and see what happened..... then some good friends came together to help me get it done, its around 99% finished now so here's the pics, if anyone is interested in the actual build up then I'll gladly post those pics and details for you :dance:

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Best, Bob Davidson
