Bid for a trike on Ebay and won it! I'm so excited!

It's plug ugly and doesn't run very good and I can't reach the gear selector or handbrake properly, but it's an automatic, it handles ok, it's properly registered with a Q plate and it's local! The other things can and will be fixed!

AND NOW IT'S MINE!

Woohooooooo!

Going to make lots of changes!

The carrier thing over the engine has to go, looks like a security grille off a window. The small wheels look sad, might go for 13in ones, and the mudguards are gross! Also the front marker lights are much too small for my liking and the front mudguard isn't nice.
The chequer plate has to go, and I want a single rider seat with bench seat or two rear seats, so I can put my baggage there or take the grandkids for a ride.

May put a recon engine/auto box in it cos there are various issues with the way it runs.

And as for the colour......

Hey its Ford Focus/Fiesta blue.

Like the running boards, you'll be able to do the ironing while on trips

Unfortunately it'll never look like a bike trike - but that's something I've had to accept if I want to be able to travel any distance. But you wait till Bruce has had a go at it, you won't recognise it!

I hope.

That look interesting. Reminds me of one of the 'projects' on that Scrapyard Challenge they used to have on TV

Is that an X7 front wheel ? - certainly one of the 80's Suz small bikes.

Have fun !!

I reckon they're ballast to keep the front wheel on the ground. Keep the tank topped up too.

Bit of an anorak on another forum reckons it's GS250. He's annoyingly frequently right. I hate Suzuki wheels.
