| Trike Trek Trip |
| I started building the trike in 1986. I bought a flat in Nottingham England with a garage to build the "Yellow Mantis" trike. It took me five years of my spare time to design and build the machine. Made by "beg borrow and steel". 80% of the time spent in the garage thinking about 15% building it and 5% screwing up. But I never abdonded the "Yellow Mantis" even though it took a long time to build. |

| The hardest part for me was the electrics. I had no idea until I had a go myself. I had a friend who began to help but he left the project and I was on my own figuring it out. |
 |
| I always had fun building it. I had a few blister cuts and busises but no missing fingers or gushing with blood that I had to go to the hospital. Plenty of tantrams though. |
