Hi Rich,
Welcome. Yes we do exist! In fact, the first 'Trikefest UK' was held at Tom's farm up at Rhayader in 2008. I think most makes and models of trikes were available to the UK, but as in other countries it's a case of keeping your eyes open and playing the wait and see game. Somewhere down your way (but can't remember exactly), there's a member who has a good supply of parts and may know where to find what you're after. If you search for trikefest uk on this site it should throw up the original organising thread and give you an idea of the UK members. There are also members on the continent from Sweden right through to Greece and most stops inbetween.
Rob.

I believe a I saw on one of these websites where a farmer in the UK has an 88 Big Red (proven)...I'll do a little more searching and try to find the link.

Hullo Gordon, haven't seen you around for a while, you been keeping a low profile?
To the original poster - there are more Trike enthusiasts dotted around the UK than you might think :welcome::)

Right then so I've got my self my first Trike!!!
1986 ytz 250 Tri Z!!
Paid £400 for it! Obviously it's no oil painting for that money but it's all there! Only problems are rear wheel nut holes av broken on one wheel so it's wobbly! And pipe going to right hand side bottom of cylinder keeps coming out of the cylinder? Seems to be easy fixes???
So with a bit of time and love she will be looking pretty tidy!!
Can't wait to sort her out!!

OK Mr Clean, consider yourself hated as well. I think it is only right that I hate you all in equal proportions :-)
P.S. Has anyone got pictures of street legal three wheelers (the ATV type, and not the Heavy trike type)

Richie, i've got a whole 86' tri-z engine that i bought for a 5th gear i needed from the gearbox but it's all there just would need the 5th gear replacing, but it's for sale if your interested pm me your phone number??
All the casings are mint, excellent piston and barrel!! be ideal for spares for you, i'm not gonna need it as i've done a deal for a 84' kawasaki tecate3 from the U.S.!!
i've got a few other tri-z parts hanging around too.
David.

David,
I'd love to take it off urs hands but at the moment it's a little bit political in my house as the Missus won't be appy coz we are saving for our wedding in June!! And at the moment the engine seems ok in the one I just bought, you wouldn't happen to have a spare rear wheel would you? The one on mine has pulled on the eyes so I don't fancy tiding it on the botch job done by the previous owner (2 plates bolted to inside of wheel!!)
A tecate in Wales now that'll be a sight!! How long till you have her?
When mines all sorted (well ride able) we'll have to get together and av a doo!
Trikefest south Wales perhaps ha ha!!!

I'll be paying for the 84' tecate tomorrow and he said it will take about 5 weeks to get here!! lol your tri-z sounds like the last 86' Z that i had!!! my wheel was the same with plates on it!
Hows your back shock?? i've got some red plastics and a seat cover for a 86' Z too!

Funnily it was in Wales, first one was nearly 3 years ago now, at a place called Toms Farm, you musta heard of it, we went up there a couple of times but its been closed/police turning people away at the gate on and off for quite some time now and seeing as its a 6hr drive for some of us its a long way to travel just to get turned away. the last few times has been in Maclesfield direction, Pot shrigly? (Luke?) on a private site, tho for some reason i've not been able to make it to the new site. you'll be able to get more info on it a bit nearer the time on clubATC...

Everytime I try to register on clubatc it says there's been an error and that I have not excepted the terms and condition(by ticking the box) which I've done everytime I've tried???
I'm sure someone will post it in here nearer the date?

The 84' tecate is paid for but it's gonna take around 5 weeks to get to the U.K.!!! i've decided i'm gonna road register it aswell!

OMG, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT 5 WEEKS!!!!!!! I'M ALL EXCITED.........LOL

Be worth it tho when she gets here!!
Road Reg sounds good too, I'm gonna get the Z done when I get her all done, but in the mean time I'm just gonna get out on her and ride it!!
