Hi from Perth Western Australia

[The Man]

Hi everyone, have just joined and thought I had better introduce myself.
Ralph Butler is my name and I hail from Perth Western Australia, I have a VW trike built from scratch by myself. Some details are, 1600 dual port (standard at this time), Twin Ford calipers on each rear wheel, Honda Broz 17 inch front wheel and disc assembly, Fat Bob 6 gallon tanks, 4 gallon auxillary tank under body, Ebony black with dark grey metallic ghost flames( self painted), leading link front forks, 15 x 10 rear wheels, harley switch assemblies and bars, immobiliser and alarm. It is the greatest buzz ever when you build something like this from start to finish and finally pass registration then start to enjoy riding as often as possible.

Have posted some photos under the title "Ralph's trike".


Cheers
Ralph

Hello Ralph. I too just came on Trike Talk. So far So good.
Your VW is a very detailed and beautiful trike. There seems
to be alot of custom and hand built trikes on this site. Hope
you enjoy.

Hi guys, thanks for the kind words, the second trike in the pictures is one that I built for a friend and now one of his friends wants one also. It is great when you can build something that you enjoy building and make a couple of dolars at the same time. Not a business venture, just doing something that I enjoy.

Cheers
Ralph
