    Hi all.

    Just an update on my Nutts. The Old Bastard has 12000 miles up on the new build now. Since February, I've ridden it to Queensland, Victoria, and so many places in between. I've belted up the Bridle Track, a dirt road between Bathurst and Sofala to go camping with my young bloke, my dog and the trailer on the back. It's been a shit load of fun.......

    Apart from running over my rear mudguard when it fell off a week ago, it's been 12000 virtually trouble free miles. Here's some more pics.....

    Thanks to whoever dug this story up, what a great read & very entertaining. Good to know the old girl ended up in the right pair of hands and mechanical knowledge to resurrect the old girl.

    Hi All.

    Bugger me........... Fancy seeing this dragged up again. Grinning stupid I am.

    Glad u liked the read. Trike's still being good to me. Still got that set of dusters on the back too.

    Thanks for the comments.

    Oh, and G'day Steve. Was good to catch up. I only got best 3 wheeler at Sofala cause they'd already given it to you before. N lets not tell anyone there were only 3 trikes at the show....... hehe!

    Bloody nice to get a trophy though, hey. Wrapped.......... The old bastards still got it !!

    Anyway, thanks again all.

    Hey Nutts, great read mate, I'm glad someone reposted the thread, and glad your trike is still giving you pleasure. Your son will always remember those rides with you mate, good memories.
