V8 trike build.

[minimutly]

Hopefully it will get completed this summer, be good to see it out and about. You did the right thing, it would only annoy you sitting there.

Today is a sad day indeed. I’ve sold the trike, 90% finished.

Deposit paid, collection in due course.

I’ve not touched it for several months, and it’s a shame for it to sit there and fester.

Still, I had fun building it, which is by far the bit I enjoy most with projects. Once I’ve overcome the engineering challenges and the end I’d in sight I generally start to lose momentum.

Sorry to read that. Shame you are unable to complete it , you have put in lots of time and effort.
Did you persuade the new owner to come on here to share the rest of the build

So what's next ? Morrisman

That’s a shame

Trials car

Gets you out and about, even if only in a hilly field - talk to fellow nutter . . or not as the day takes you.

Ikley Classic this Sunday - starts and finishes in Pateley Bridge. Apathy and lethergy was meaning I wasn't going to bother . . . but several weekends of fettling later

I shall just keep riding my bike, maintaining that as best I can. It’s a struggle just to put nuts and bolts together now, and switching an angle grinder on is a two handed faff that will probably lose me a finger if I’m not carefull.

Selling price was just a fraction of what I’ve paid out on the trike. I could probably have doubled the money if I’d got the motor up and running, gearbox driving etc, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do any more to it.

And swing by Morrismans place when done and give him a ride....
Closure is a powerful thing.

The trike has now gone, the garage looks so empty now.

Tough day, lots of sweat and effort has gone into the build, time to get the thread closed @Morrisman , just so you dont get ideas to build another every time someone adds a comment to the thread.

I can barely screw nuts and bolts together nowadays, my hands are getting that feeble. There won’t be any more major projects happening.

I know the feeling, spent my working life as a sparky and my hands were aching stripping a cable to connect a light fitting yesterday

Sometimes we need the hug icon as a like option, this is one of them.
