Welcome to our trike Album.
After I had to stop riding, we missed it that much, we decided to try a trike.
But things did not go to plan !!
Anyway we hope you enjoy our Trails n Tribulations....
1st February 2006.
Yet another month starts and its time to start making lists of jobs to be done.
Hopefully will speed things up with parts I am unable to do myself,.
and if nowt else will give me a list that should hopefully start getting shorter daily...
Talk about bloody cold - with i few mins me fingers were like icicles...
As of today this section will be added to as I list the jobs to be done.
Also listed here will be parts that I need to get.
Hopefully after this week this list should be getting shorter as parts are begged,borrowed (pernamently), given or as a last resort purchased when funds permit.
