Hi all. My name is Chris and I've just joined this forum.
I currently own a custom Honda NC700D Trike (built originally by BB Customs in Dorset) and we also have a Piaggio MP3 500CC LT SPORT.
I was pensioned off on ill health last year aged 43yrs. Due to a progressive chronic condition I have I can no longer use foot pedals. For this reason I invested in the trike and the Piaggio since they are automatics so hand controls only.
For how long ill be able to ride the doctors don't know so until then it's my way of keeping some independance and mobility.
I've had a nightmare 11 months since buying my trike however it's currently back down in Dorset and had the rear end re built so I'm hoping when it comes back in the next couple of weeks I'll get plenty on miles back on it.
Looking forward to learning from posts in this forum as I've had no previous experience with bikes or trikes so any advice gratefully received.
Cheers peeps

Welcome to the nuthouse Chris. Sorry to hear about your troubles but now you will be well looked after by the mad doctor and strict nurse. There is a freshly cleaned cell near mine. Nurse will lock you in and give out the meds later.
PS. There is no way to escape as they have found the last tunnel we dug.

Welcome Cris. Your trike looks very similar to our Deauville from the front, and in the best Honda red.
Hope you are sorted soon.
