MOT near Cambridge

Thanks!

Left foot rest and remote brake reservoirs

I have been finding long runs in my Triking difficult due to getting cramp in my left leg. I am at the limit for legroom in a T3, and have nowhere to rest my left foot when I am not using the clutch.

Re: Insurance

It's a mystery isn't it? I'm now with Footman James. I found the online system very easy and the follow up phone call friendly and professional.

Re: Insurance

Thanks, I've managed to find a provider who nearly matches last years rate, plus has a much lower excess.

Insurance

I have insured my Triking with Adrian Flux since purchase; last year the premium went up about 40% which was bad enough, but this year it has increased again by a further one hundred pounds, more than double in two years. Have other owners had similar experiences? Can anyone suggest other insurers I...

Hi Richard,

Re: Founders Day 2023

As a first-timer at this rally, are there any special arrangements, or does one just turn up at the gate and request to be directed to the Triking stand?

Thanks, Mike
