Does anyone know where there is a category 3 (ie: one that can test trikes) test station near by??? They seem to be rare!!

Already e-mailed him and had a reply! Problem is hegot his done in LINCOLN!!! He has mentioned one in Swindon as a possibility. Also had a link from Scott W but the best the site he found was in Radstock!! At least that would give me the chance of a bit of a shake down run on the way!!! ;)

Was it a ten gallon one or two pint, did he also have a star on his jacket and did he go to the Spice of Bengal for an Indian?

I'm sure the next time I see him at the Sally he will want to have a serious pow wow with me.

Coopers in Hankerton near Malmesbury. Tel. 01666 577273. Good guys and they definitely do MoT's on trikes.

HTH,

Cheers. Thats the one run by the NCC isnt it? I heard about them after I managed to get mine booked into Riverside MOT Centre in Melksham who were very "Obliging" when I went for mine, shall we say! £33 for the test - RRP (?) £37.20!

Greens recycling at Allington did the weight cert for £7.50!

Q-Tech in Melksham does bikes and it a good guy, but not sure on trikes.

The Radstock guy does Trikes and is really good to talk to.
When I went, he was riding round in a bike & sidecar that he drove from the sidecar and had a mannequin blonde on the bike - honest !

Does charity runs with it.

Just a quick point on trike mot's, if it's a class 4 ie over 450kg, any mot station who dos cars can not refuse to test your trike as its the same cat as cars. But don't expect them to know what they are looking at.
