Before it became the trike project
before...
Found the old pic of the direction it was going before i decided to make it into the trike. Im going to start throwing together the spares out of the back room and see how much of a bike i have in there - i think most of one... little cobbled together simple bone stock m100 might be on the cards in a while - a decent long while but it will store better as a roller rather than pile of parts...

TRIUMPH ENGINE REBUILDING DVD
its out of stock briefly - worry not you engine rebuilding fiends, there are more copies winging their way over from the west coast to me here in sunny england. shouldnt be more than a couple of weeks so hold on in there.
Tankless ride
Took the zed up the road today after I finished the exhaust. Tank seal
was drying and I got impatient. Yes that is a water bottle hanging off
the bars for a petrol tank...
Stump Puller Chain Tension
Its been a think how to adjust the chain between the 2 motors without adjusting the timing - i think ive got it nailed now
MK7.584 chain tensioning system.
Fairing for the Zed
just got myself an old style handlebar fairing. i want the zed to look at home in this lineup in a week or so
Off the drawing board
its at last a reality not just a collection of parts now
got all the bits up to neil at NK Custom Cycles. hes done all my frame stuff in the past and is quality and charges sensible prices.
layed it all out in his shop its a big bugger int it... oh thats neils happy face holding the forks about right
ITS ALIVE!
what a difference a day makes.... the zed is now a runner - need to fab up the rear half of the exhaust and then get it an MOT and legal. happy days, always good to have a little tipple ongoing in the garage..
Coming together
Day and a half on and the zed is coming together. Strutted rear. Side
rack fabricated. Engine back together.... Not a bad weekends work all
in all. There's still a chance of having this thing done for the
dragon rally.

TIPPLE RUN 2010
DATE CONFIRMED
Sharpen your pencil and get it in your diary out.
9th - 12th Sept 2010
There will be a pre-night camping on the 8th somewhere, and last days riding on Saturday 11th with camp at the end. Same format as last year, it worked for me.
We will be doing a pre-run in probably March at a guess but the route below is a rough plan, few more miles than this i think though.
And this year we are doing patches instead of shirts - less hassle for me... no sizing etc.
Linky on the right for all the up to date info as it occurs
Bad day at the strip
One grenaded pro bike - rear cylinder blown off, carb danging, ripped kill cord - all makes for an interesting day. great timing/luck on the photographers part.
45 SNOW PLOW
i want one... well the govt deosnt seem to be able to clear the roads so maybe we need a fleet of these knocking about.
