What's Are Your Other Hobbies?

My other hobby is finding and fixing old Honda 3 wheelers. I have a few of them from 1970 on in original condition which I take to shows around Northern Alberta. My favourite build was to convert a 1965 Marketeer 425 3 wheeled electric golf cart into something I could use off road and on the golf course. Of course it's an army theme. I transplanted a 1986 Honda TRX 250 ATV under the chassis after removing all the destroyed electric components. It was a fun build and fully functional in the rough and on the links. Enjoy the pics!

And more pics! The replica jerry can is the actual gas tank, the grenade is the shifter and the yellow levers work the choke and reverse interlock. the trench tool was my uncles from Korea.

The pics in the mud was from a three wheeler meet (Trikefest) that I went to in Haspin Acres, Laurel, Indiana last year. That mud isn't normal I may add! The snow pics are from the R&D phase prior to teardown and paint. Yes I golf with this thing!

I like the tracked one, very cool.

If you were an ex Pat Brit you would know what a Reliant Robin was and how much scorn and derision was heaped upon the design.

A few lads in the UK took one and like some of your creations turned it into a militaryesque machine, perhaps it will give you some ideas for a larger machine.

Love the creations, keep them coming.

Very nice Peter.

But Robin, why is there an outboard motor hanging on the back of the ... Robin ?

Thats a neat little thing to watch. I can sure see the resemblance. The Robin looks a little more stable than mine!
