I found this sight while looking round the internet looking for HPV's as this economy is driving me to the poor house. I live in a 30' camp trailer, but had to sell the rig that pulled it. Now my wheels are a Honda Silver wing scooter w/a 550cc engine. Not quite big enough to pull the camper.

Am looking at possibly building a trike or a quad. This site is (pardon the expression) "The Cats Meow". Everyone seems so helpful here, from what I have been reading.

At anyrate I live ENE of Ocala, in Marion county in the North Centrial part of Florida. I chose my handle because, am not sure how much longer I will be able to afford the bike. What with all of the fees going up, gas prices, not to mention ins. costs. But I also know that I am not alone in this crisis.

Sorry if I ranted a bit, just letting off some steam.

Happy peddling everyone :sunny:

For trikes and quads, you've come to the right place....!! Welcome to the Krew, Traveler.

....I live ENE of Ocala, in Marion county in the North Centrial part of Florida.I'm from the Northeast, but I've been to Ocala (Home of Don Garlits), Daytona (toured the racetrack and drove on the beach). Nice area.

As PeterT said, keep your camera handy during the build and post lots of pix.

Cheers.........Richie Rich....

Thank you for the encouragement everyone.

Not just sure when I will get the money together for the cds that I want, maybe after New Years'. But do I know that I want the choppers cd, and then probably the 5 build cd.

I grew up on a farm, but for the last 35 odd yrs have been a cook. So will have to brush up on my welding, and building things out of other things. Should be a lot of fun at any rate.

Saw a couple of bikes put out for collection yesterday, so yes I collected em up. Guess that they are the seeds from which my builts will grow. LOL.

Yes when I start to build, pics-o-plenty will be a commin' this way.

Happy trails everyone
