Re: "Reliant" trikes versus the law/MSVA

Chop you're missing the point mate - it was about 'Reliant trikes' retaining their original registration supposedly 'legal' but Reliant never made a trike and their 3 wheelers certainly didn't resemble the majority of what used to be for sale. I'm all for individuality and custom bikes / trikes but not at the expense of safety and roadworthiness! There have been a few builds on here that have gone through the MSVA and failed - just silly little things and inconsequential to an MOT but missed using 'common sense'! You aren't an average builder first off - some of the welds seen on these pages by amateur welders could be described as dangerous, not something an MOT would fail or that I would want trucking up behind me at speed!
