Phase 1.2

Next after completing the 1406 mile Barcelona trip, the real planning and decisions started in earnest. You might be surprised to hear that there are not that many companies specialising in custom bike to trike conversions, shocking I know !!
In the end the decision was easy and I called Steve at Casarva trikes. After several calls, Steve still hadn't sworn or laughed out loud at my ideas which I took to be a positive sign.










A visit was planned in September, so this was a good excuse for a mini lads trip. Myself and two good mates headed east via Fowlers in Bristol, stacks of temptation and a great all day breakfast to Casarva. After a mornings worth of discussions, test riding, falling in love with the sound of open pipes on a flat 6 Valkyrie and more talk the deposit was paid and the deal done.
Unfortunately due to their reputation and the obvious growing trend for trikes, Casarva have a fairly heavy order book. Great for them, terrible if you are a "want it yesterday" type of person. A start date of the beginning of April was tentatively agreed.
