Ed:
I just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you and your family. You kept me on my "A" game. Thanks for all the help, suggestions, tips, and hospitality.
Next year will be great.. all riding, no building......

I had to have a chuckle too once it was pointed out (the earless donkey). As ever it's looking really slick Ed though I can only imagine you don't get much rain there
Hope every one has a great Christmas and looking forward to hearing about all the 2015 adventures with your Eco-Exos

Merry Christmas Roger and Kelvin
Roger I think your dash will end up looking great! You will find out it will be worth it when you get done.
Kelvin thanks. The Alcantara fabric is outdoor waterproof rated for motorcycle seat applications so should stand up.
It was great fun and challenging to build this trike to what I envisioned it to be. It turned out better than expected and ended up being a truly reliable machine that I do not have to worry taking extended trips on.
Enjoy your holidays everyone.
Edward

First, Merry Christmas to all.
Second, and I'll say it here, GREAT JOB Edward!
Third, if you do a road trip over here, pin me in for a test ride. Roger was going to stop on his western road trip on his Victory but by-passed the Seattle area. On the BurgmanUSA site we came up with ***TRAVEL STOP*** to let people know that they could have a place to take a break, camp, have tools, drop ship tires or any other thing on a road trip far from home.

After some thought I decided to design and build a custom trailer to fit my Eco Exo R. Well the trailer I decided to build is finished. Just a few minor details to take care of. The good thing is the trike fits. Hope you like the idea. Here are three videos and some pictures.

Wow that's one mighty fine rig you have there Roger! Well done indeed.
Ironically I just got myself a little trailer on Friday which I'm intending to adapt for the Eco-Exo too but rest assured it'll be no where near as smart as that sadly. We're not as lucky as you in the USA with such facilities to make things like this. I often think I should have moved to California years ago when I was sorely tempted to.

Hi Kelvin
Probably a typo but Edward here. I lucked out and found someone that builds custom trailers on the side. He took my design and cut sheets and with my help we built this in about two weeks part time each day.
He has a great shop to be able to make custom trailers and I am glad I was able to work with him to get it on budget. I did a lot of calculations and hit the mark on each of them so pretty happy with the outcome.

Hi Erik
The pictures make it look bigger but once in the garage it is smaller than it looks. The trike just fits so you know it can't be that much larger. It all works and am really happy with the outcome. I put all three straps on today and once synched up the trike is in solid with no movement. I am really happy how this trailer ended up.
Edward

Just came over to the other side of the board to get inspiration. You sir have built one fine vehicle. I now have 28 pages to read to get caught up on!
