Greetings from the UK.....

[mickeriick]

From the City of Liverpool in fact, land of the crap, overated beatnik pop band (sorry Beatles fans, I`m more a metal/punk devotee!) not many bikers here due to us bein` a football (soccer) city, with 2 premier league teams.

32 years a biker, about 17 on trikes due to having Dystonia, a condition that fecks up yer balance and stuff, diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease in 2006, but its all under control with medication, thank feck!!! Only thing is, no bugger will employ me, so cash is tight,so all trike work etc is done on a shoestring budget.

Founder member of the "Feckin Eedjits", "Trikers With Attitude Terror Squad" (T.W.A.T.S) check us out on FeckinEedjitsForever,

Glad to meet y`all good trikers, speak t`yis all again soon! ThumbUp

Blimey, worra nice suprise!!! I`m impressed and very happy at the warm welcome from you all, here in the UK, many of the forums seems to have gone into hibernation (including my own) seems, when the sun eventually decides to pop out for a few hours, UK trikers and bikers awake and start posting all the usual pre season stuff, about getting their rides ready, wot shows an` rallies they`re attending, how many double JD`s they sank over the weekend........usual stuff!

I`ll put some piccies on in the gallerry thingie, I`ve attached a quick one here for starters, it`s me 5th trike, a V Max (me 2nd) and I`ve fettling with it since I bought it nearly 2 years ago, changing it a fair bit, hope yis like it!

Many thanks again for the welcome!! ThumbUp

 

[Nana]

That trike looks like it will get-up-and-go, Mick! Impressive

 

[skuuter]

WOW.....V-Maxx Trike....Impressive, and hasta' be FAST...ThumbUp

 

[wingking51]

That is one fast looking ride!:wtg:

 

[White Knight 04]

Wow kinda looks like a rocket on 3 wheels...!!!!

 

[mickeriick]

Well, she `ain`t full power, so I fitted a Dynojet Stage 1 kit and K&N air filter, and it made a difference all right! I reckon a full power trike is a bit of a waste with the boost comin` in at 6000 revs (I think) the Dynojet increase is mid range, more suited to 3 wheels.
I lowered the rear with shortened gas shocks offa monoshock pit bike (x2), didn`t realise the springs were 1000lb rate!! might as well have been a hardtail! A few other changes, and a few more planned, and a good few rallies and shows in between, should be, hopefully, a good year.

Once again, many thanks for the welcome, well impressed!! :wtg:
