Still a few of us trundling our "barrows" around the old country - Ken is still in business
producing conversions/trikes/tandem trikes etc from his place at the end of the runway at Heathrow -
or so it seems when watching the planes and counting the nuts and bolts on the landing gear as they
skim past his roof. The "TA" holds events - social/racing throughout the year and even organises a
"world championship" race in France every summer. It does seem to be populated by grey bearded
types(ladies accepted of course) but after all the trike men seem to fall into the experienced type
seeking even more thrills controlling, paradoxically, a highly unstable machine at speed. Take a
look at some of the photos on the following sites
