Right guys if anyone fancies a trip to the UK to our trikefest event on saturday
30th - sunday 31st August then your more than welcome, We have been invited to your trikefest but its a bit short notice for us but ill deffo be coming next year with a few people so if you guys want to come see us then im happy to pick anyone up from the airport and let them use one of my trikes for the weekend and if there is a few of you im sure i can find trikes for the others.
I can then take you back to the airport for you to get home.
Now our UK event is nowhere near as big as yours but we do try our best and we do have a scream.
Its a 600acre private site with all kinds of terrain, Ive posted a thread with pics of the venue in the events forum.

Just a thought but if you do fancy it feel free to come.

Wad I'd love to come and visit over there. I've been told that I've got a little Scottish heritage. The only problem I have is I'm just a poor boy and I'm married to my job.
My full name is Lloyd Ronald Dunlap, does that sound Scottish to you?

It could be possible I'm no genealogist. I did a quick search and this is what i found.

The surname Dunlap or Dunlop is of Scottish origin. Two-Thirds of Dunlaps or Dunlops are found in county Antrim. It is a common name in Ayrshire, deriving from the lands of Dunlop in the district of Cunningham.

The first to bear the name was Willhelmus de Dunlop in 1260. The placename is dun lapach "muddy hill'. The name was common in Kintyre after the plantation of lowlanders there in the 17th century.

Dunlops from Arran settled in North Antrim in the early 17th century, and a Bryce Dunlop received lands between Ballycastle and Ballintoy from Sir Randall MacDonnell, marrying Christian Stewart, daughter of John Stewart of the Island of Bute.

Now that is some funny crap, "muddy hill".:lol:

Sorry for hijacking your thread.
Back on topic now.
I really wish I could afford a trip over there. I'll keep that offer in mind.
