Hi Buckles, Good luck with the bike, throw some holy water on it and make a few incantations and get on the road again. By the way I,ve been pushing my diahatsu turbo dnepr pretty hard lately and managed to burst the rubber driveshaft donut. The outer metal ring tore apart and the whole lot disinte...

I really want to do this rally, almost got the outfit ready just some fine tuning( about a weeks work). looking at travelling mid week6th, 7th ish, and sailing from Hull - Holland. Back home mid week after the rally, if I dont see anyone en-rout, see you at the rally site. Andy.

Hi Buckles, Sorry to but in again but I notice you are using the drum brake on the front,eeeh its not good enough to stop this rig especially in the rain. I posted a simple disc brake conversion in the brakes section and think you should seriously consider something similar, makes riding in modern ...

Hi Sphere,
Will post some pictures at the weekend, am working just outside LONDON all week .

For the last few weekends I have been squirreling away in my garage and finally got the outfit through the MOT :D . I still have loads of work to finish off, but I'm so chuffed to be back on the road, when i smashed it up earlier this year i almost threw the towel in :cry: but riding it this weekend...

Hi Sam, is that the class the Axiam falls into, same as the old blue invalid carriages that you don't need a licence to drive?

Hi benzine and welcome, the weight classes on trikes relate to the licence you hold, you can ride a trike on a bike licence up to 450 kg's ish, but over this weight you will need a car licence. I think this is to stop people building car based trikes that only hold a bike licence, as far a i can see...

top marks phil.

Righto, got stuck to my outfit over the last few weeks and its now ready for paint, an then started to paint, just a few bits left to blow over and start to rebuild,,,,,,,,,again, points scored if you lot can tell what I've altered

Thanks for the kind words fella's, here's a picture or the bike/railings.

Hi Niel, think you should go for an agreed value other wise you will end up with the market value of the standard bike and whats that going to be compared to what you have spent on your build, no where near i bet!

I spent all the winter months building my bike up for the summer when last week whilst going through a set of lights some twat t-boned me :( , mainly cosmetic damage, the folks are bent, tank split etc, but i have been lucky very very lucky. soon as all the aches have stopped and the swelling gone d...

East leeds lions rally this coming weekend, anyone one on here goin?, an before you lot overseas asks its in GB . hope to take the outfit, i spent most of last weekend fitting a new clutch and not got round to road testing it .

Johnny, i have an old set of glow plugs you can have if you would like to try them out, they all work. Whilst my bike was in bits i put new plugs in so the old ones are surplus. let me know and i'll chuck em in the post, Andy.

long story short, my insurance comp would not touch my bike (Ural daihatsu outfit), so i phoned footman James impressed, :P they wanted £129.00 fully comp inc euro breakdown for the u d outfit, great i thought but £280.00 to cover my gs1200adv :o bugger when its up for renewal in April. My insurance...

Hi mouse, my daihatsu is fitted with just under a metre of straight pipe no baffles or owt, its not too noisy. I did think throughout the build that it was going to be too loud, you just associate diesel with noise i know i did.

Looking good Buckles :D And it sounded great :!: Much more military like with an exhaust note like that don't you think :?: :D Do try and make the rally this year if possible. Be nice to see everyone and their bike's at least once 8) Stuart Hi Stuart, Went to last years rally but on a BMW yes a pet...

Hi Heiko,I like that lots, whats your expected economy @ 140 KPH, and is that flat out. Cheers, Andy.

Thanks chaps, Thanks for the comments. I am dead chuffed so far still loads of fine tuning to do but overall its fantastic, went out on a dual carriageway and got up to about 50 MPH no problems it pulls like a train! the clutch slips but that's cos the plate is knackered so have got one from motor w...
