Well! Now for how it started:
I think it’s all Dave’s fault for getting MS. He started dropping his Harley and forgetting to pick his leg up, so while we were having a few beers and taking the piss, we told him he needed training wheels. With that the idea was born.
As I fiddle with bikes, some fool said I could build him a trike and, after being plied with more booze, I said OK (damn the booze).
The result, if I say so myself, ain’t too shabby and Dave is over the moon that his new plaything is in his garage and not mine.
Many many thanks for your grant of £400, it will make a hell of a difference to Dave (we think he should spend it on Botox, as the picture shows).
We are planning a trip to the coast as soon as the weather permits and Dave is also planning taking it to your stand at Bisley this year.
Once again many thanks to you and all at NABD.
This NABD grant of £400.00
