UK Triker Forums

Well here it is folks......The Black Museum of Trike building

What we hope you will do is post piccies of the horrors you have found on your or a mates trike after you/they have bought it.

Or..........if you are brave enough gentleman's sausage ups of your own.

Or....disasters you have seen and had to tell some unsuspecting poor so and so about before they kill emselves....

We are coming up to the season and as we all know it really is a case of buyer beware....so to that end....if this section stops one person from buying a bag full of sh*te and or saves their life then we'll have been good little boys and girls....

Only rules.....no names no bl**dy pack drill. Thou shalt not name names of builders or previous owners....break this rule and your post will be deleted....break it twice and you will be deleted.

There will be no personal vendettas or the doctors scythe comes out.

Post and Piccies you lot....this may save some poor b***ers life

Go on then....i'll stick the 1st one on.

For all those who missed it last time round....have laugh at this horror story.

How on earth would those silly bits hold the engine on/in apart from Anything else??!

Also, if thats the stuff you can see??! Lol

Blue Tac would have done a better job on some of those bits?!!

Im no expert but this one looks a bit unsafe to me, what do you think ?

I know its not a competition, but think you might have to go some to get worse LOL

this was bought as a trike all looking good, according to someone.

but with reliant van V5 I understand

The only thing wrong with this is the colour, surely blue tac is blue ??

i basically did everything you shouldnt do when buying a trike, i didnt know what i was doing was panicking about my job plus i,d been on the cider when i went on ebay(never a good idea)and yes when it didnt sell i dealt outside ebay (yes i know i got what i deserved) so for any newbies reading this the best advice i could ever give is always always take someone with you who knows what the score is, this is what i saw on ebay

but it wasnt registered properly the wheels were loose (wrong pcd) back brakes were knackered the list goes on when i get more time i,l try and find some more pics in the meantime this is how it looks now

reminds me of a program i watched about swallow's making their nests out of spit. the spit looked stronger.

OMG gtr, that is horrendous, I could do better with a bit of double sided sticky tape!
