I followed your build over on OZATV, you are an amazing fabrcator!
And the sound of that bike coming around the track was awesome, very nice build & I'm always lookin to see what's next with you!
Haha lol sell my DNA that's funny lol.mate I'm nowhere near as talented as some of the ppl on here I'm just an Aussie backyarder who loves welding alloy and fabricating things I have my mess ups trust me lol
Although my DNA has been passed on and seriously she is only 14 months old and just loves comin out in the shed with me
Yeh the vid of it a tammworth that was so much fun it's really more at home on the dirt than the dunes but flat track is defgi
nately where it's at. It's an 04 model engine with the electronic power valve claims to have around 34ish horsepower

Awesome trike and good job on starting your little girl out at a young age. I've got a 2 year old daughter and she loves to be outside with her "daddy" putting around on my 70's or my golf cart.
P.S. that trike looks very dangerous, you can send it to me and I will make sure that it is never ridden again. Lol.
Nice job on the trike. I'm especially diggin' on that swingarm. It sounded absolutely wicked coming around the flat track. You're like the Ricky Carmichael of three wheelers.

NO, you are both talented and enthusiastic to think "outside the box". None of your work is easy but you do it so well!!!!
Is that aluminum TIG welded or a MIG with a spool gun and different gas, besides Argon?? or yes, that gas.
I love all your creations. I am a big fan of you my friend; Crap, I'd be your slave just to learn!!
EDIT - no, you are super talented and far too humble,
Stay in touch with our messed up AmericansWe'll find you a slave
Take care, DC
EDIT - Cute kid there!!!!

All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country
What is that? a 10 - 11" lathe?
Almost looks like an early Logan with a leadscrew gearbox.......
Thread dial and all, awesome!
Where's your mill, you must have one
Nice old school iron!!!!
Your daughter is quite the cutie and you scream IRISH by your appearance!!!!!!

Cheers guys,
America is definately first on my list I would love to come over an meet you guys at trikefest or some of that 70 trike racing would be awesome.
Red rider I was waitin for someone to comment on the swing arm it was my favorite part lol especially the yfz 450 caliper that bad boy pulls it up I'll tell ya lol
Sorry briano trikes staying put its way to much fun lol glad to here you are enjoying your little one as much as me she amazes me everyday.
Dirt crasher the lathe I'll get the specs on for you next time I'm put in the shed it's an old hercus which I believe was of Australian design I have heaps of tooling etc that came with it and buckets of high speed steel to make cutters etc. as for a mill I only have a small mill/drill which does a good job for cases etc.
Here's a few shots of the swinger it is ssssssssoooooo much lighter than the stock one best part is I have a jig to make more
I thought I'd also throw in some of my air box it had a watercooled 250r carb snorkel so I made use of the fits like a glove the trike runs a 250r air filter
Made it from cardboard first lol
I really appreciate the comments guys it's what keeps the three wheelin feelin alive .

I read this over on af.com and I reread it here .Awsom,awsome,awsome. I liked the swingarm build as much as the rest. Are you still doing the 480 topend on the liquid r bottom end .
250r rules
I love it !!!!!!!!
I love the pull start feature too! That thing is an AWESOME machine. Good work Mate!

Ive rode a 125 trike 38 years ago. It was fun
I absolutely love this build. You turned complexity into simplicity, and made it look Great. Awesome Job, Sir!
This is one I'd really love to ride, It's gotta be a blast.
Thanks guys
Yamada the air box is made from 1mm 316 stainless steel it's all I had in plate I should've made it out of alloy or better yet plastic vaccum form one as it's very heavy lol.
Atc300r yeh I'm still building that engine it's just not priority as I'm deciding out of 3 engines for my trx 250r #1 keep the counter balanced cr 500 in it which unfortunately smashed itself apart a couple weeks ago. It's the most likely because it was running so well not vibrating at all and goin very hard than the clutch cover along with balancer smashed its way through lol.#2 engine is a 04 model cr250 and then #3 is my custom cr480 topped lc250r bottom end which I honestly think would be a bull of an engine just right amount of power counterbalanced forward kick 6 speed only thing slowing me up on that one is the price of the crank I would need +4mm stroker with cr500 rod = about $800 dollars lol
Atc Tim and sling blade cheers for the comments if you ever venture down under it'll be there waitin for yas to pilot
Keith that's the reason I built this one my dad and uncle had em in the racing days aswell and never stop talkin bout em how good they went for 125's what were the details of the one you rode mate??
