    After picking up my trike and taking it for a quick spin just to find all the small problems etc, I noticed a very distinct rattle that sounded like the primary chain clanking against the casing. B*ll*cks, I thought, that's all I need!
    On closer inspection outside my workshop/garage, I found that it wasn't the primary chain, but was instead just the glass in the right side mirror rattling with vibration.............DERRRRRRRRRRRRR. :oops: :lol: :lol:

    Now with the mirror fixed, the engine sounds as sweet as a nut. 8)

    OK just for you Skillet.........................

    I picked up my newly purchased trike and took it for a ride down the road to see if I could find any little faults or noises coming from it.
    "DAG NABBIT" I thought, that rattle sounds like the primary chain knocking against the inside of the casing. "That's all I need"!!
    Anyway, it all turns out that it wasn't actually the chain rattling, but was in fact just the mirror vibrating in it's housing. Gosh, I am such a fool.

    Now with the mirror fixed, the engine sounds like a Chevy on crack. :lol: :lol: :lol:
