Rusty Kustoms Biker Build Off

Yesterday Tim and I were at Belgrave, VIC for Rusty Kustoms Biker Build Off with the trike. We added the finishing touches on the way and started well. But not having time for a test ride a stuck throttle and a locked diff powered me straight through turn 2 and took out a street sign. No damage to the bike but whilst wrestling it around a corner and through a ditch my leg hit the carby and snapped the cheap Chinese manifold. That ended our run but the crowd loved the trike and it took out the People's Choice Award.
Thanks to Rusty Kustoms and the organisers, all the other builders and the rad dudes we met on the day. 













Invading Victoria

So I've been slack on the blog finishing the trike. To be honest we were bolting parts on at breakfast stops and when we got here. But we're here and ready to go.
Except the u turn on the track. That could be hairy.
