I'm just collecting vehicles at the moment. Current collection is:

- 1980 Ford Mustang
- 1985 Yamaha Virago 750 trike project
- 1988 Honda Accord Aerodeck
- 1994 Yamaha Diversion 900 trike
- have free access to a 1998 Nissan Almera GTi
- have free access to a 2005 Chevrolet Matiz

I am loving the trikes. Great fun to ride, really comfy, can kinda skip past traffic, free parking, and great mpg

Actually thinking of setting up a small side business building conversion frames for bikes to trikes. I've bought 2 now, and I could build better than both of them, so I probably will start building them.

Found the not starting issue - the starter motor has packed up. Tried jumping it straight from the battery, and nothing, not a click, not a turn, not a sausage, so it's had it. Got one on eBay though so just gotta wait for that to turn up so I can wake the neighbourhood up with it!

Got a bit of trike related work done on it today. Rear swingarm is off, and prop is out now too. Going to see if the old swingarm off of Sid, the XJ trike, matches up with Kaede's swingarm, and if it does, huzzah!!

After many evenings after work and Sundays spent working away, I now have Kaede up and running!! There is nothing quite like the sound of starting up a project for the first time and just listening to it roar and rumble away.
