- 2017 Rocket 3 R modified trike to take wheelchair
Sad to say that the Mark 1 Chariot is no longer. We binned it on the 3rd of June. Total write off, CAT B for the Brits.
Ended up upside down in a bog. Oddly enough I survived with chest and neck bruising and Johnny with his neck in a brace for 12 weeks. 2 nights in hospital for both of us!
The good news is the Mark 2 model is well on the way to being back on the road. Sent it to Lumley Engineering who are doing a fantastic job! I am sorry I didn't have it built by them in the first place, the Trike shop after sales service has been practically nothing since day one. Hope any other Rocket owners have not had this experience with them.
The donor bike is a 2017 Rocket 3 same colours as before. Hope to be back on the road before the good weather ends.
The Hayabusa clutch I fitted still slipped, I've got a Barnett clutch ready to fit.

I had time to think "we are not going to make this" lol and my life did not flash before me 
Obviously not ready for a better place just yet. Shame about the new front forks, had just spent 2500 on an upgrade. New model is coming along great. Hopefully with all the problems ironed out. Paul sees it as a challenge. photos to follow. Thanks for your comments. The blue van is my other transport but unfortunately i had to ride in an ambulance lol.
