    Hi, folks been a while…
    Here’s my new bike if I can get the pics uploaded!
    The Trophy has been and gone along with a ZZR1100 now back with a Hardtail again – GS1000 of unknown original year (78-80 ish)

    Welcome back PINGU, cool looking bike. Did you build it yourself?

    Very nice Pingu, I’d like something like that for the days when I don’t feel like crotch-rocketing. Looks long although the front fork rake doesn’t look excessive. Is the wheelbase much more than a standard bike or are the photos deceptive?

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys, this one wasn’t built by me this time, I wanted something a bit special but couldn’t wait while I built it…too impatient!
    She’s not that much longer than standard really just very very low, photo’s don’t do the bike justice…much better looking in the ‘Metal’
    I’ll put some pics up of our VW Trike (now sold) when I get a bit of time, that was some project…watch this space!!!

    That looks the nuts Pingu.

    Guess you’ll be putting a large tube of Autosolv on your Christmas list?

    Not sure if I ever posted the photo’s of the Trophy in the finished state…just before she went to pastures new.

    The tail unit which includes side panels are once again hand made, took me bloody ages to get right. Just a screw on either side and the whole lot hinges forward…pretty cool

    The Triumph turned out well, I bet that pipe was pretty vocal!
