Real nice job, I like how many pictures you have. You must be very handy with a wrench and so much more. It's way more than I would tackle.
I like your trailer too, bet you don't even feel that behind you.
You've got lots of good riding where you're from, I'd like to make it there again someday.

Thank you for the compliment, I love my champion trike!
I'm putting a new engine in it this year, It's 25 yrs. old with over 91,000 miles on it.
I have no intention of trading it off.
I was pleased and proud to receive the trike talk Sept. 2013 recognition as trike of the month.
I'm retired and would enjoy building another one. I have some physical problems and wanted to be able to build it myself while I still could.
it became obvious to me that the quality of a trike rests entirely upon the integrity of the builder and there is no one in my home town that knows a whole allot about trikes.
Necessity is the mother of invention I suppose?
One thing I can tell you is that folks on this forum bent over backwards to help me with making a choice on the parts I wanted and tech. questions I came across!ThumbUp
Your right, I don't know the trailer is back there but of course the gas gage and the rocky mtns. will remind me.

Agreed my friend. They just might give someone the confidence to do the build themselves. There is a certain pride in ownership that comes of doing it yourself that can't be achieved through a purchase.ThumbUp
