Hi there from England

Postby Trikerman » Sat Nov 24, 2007 7:40 pm

Hi there every one, I have been logging on to this site for a few months now and taking in a lot of the knowledge and ideas that you all have posted. it is also one of the friendlyest sites that I have found. I have recently brought a teardrop sleeper to tow behind my Harley Davidson Trike. It came with just the bare fibre glass shell and I have to do the interior to my own taste. I will try to post some photo's of it.

A Sleeper, perhaps?

On edit: Ah! I've managed to find the site of the first British guy I ever found who'd built a teardrop to go behind his Yam XS11 trike.

His comments about trying to fill in the grain of plywood with spray paint makes my heart weep!

Welcome from the other side of the big pond...

Postby Alfred » Sun Nov 25, 2007 10:57 pm

Hey John,

Welcome to the list! Greetings from the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, on the other side of the big pond! I am new here on the list, too (more or less). Just getting ready to start my first build. Good group of people and very helpful and enthusiastic, and they tolerate my newbie questions well, also.

I do not know if I can build mine waterproof enough so that I could tow it over your way, and I don't think the Dodge Van would make it anyway! But when/if I do get mine built I will post pictures to the group.

Enjoy your camper -

From plain trailer to campground!

Yes Angib it is a sleeper, that's an old advert that you have posted and they are a bit dearer now.

Hi diddly hi John. A yeow' right mi duck?

(sits back and waits for translation request..... :) )

A meet sounds good to me but sadly, having lived amongst the "shandy-drinkers" for the last three years, I've turned into an alcoholic lightweight. One pint and I'm anybodys, two and I'm everybodys :lol:
