The Move...

My job got full of drama suddenly, so I started applying around. Little did I know it would end up with a major relocation. It meant leaving my build buddies behind and venturing to a new city. Of course, no moving company wanted to haul my trike. As a parting gift my welder, C, made a special trailer hitch to take the trike with me. Luckily C is also an engineer and ran the specifications for the frame through the CAD before we proceeded with the construction.
When mounted in the trailer hitch it provides the perfect placement for the front wheel of the trike.
This way the rear wheels balance the weight of the load and we are ready to go.
One sunny morning we left the compound where the trike was built and towed her 1100 miles to our new home in Seattle.

More photos of the relocation process once I get them scanned and uploaded.
