Being a blacksmith and machinist myself, I know how many, many hours of work that probably went into this piece of art. It truly deserves to be called a piece of art cause that is exactly what you've made there. :)

Love the bike, hate the riding position .. great aluminiumwork !

I kind of agree. When I finally build my own Imma give myself a more upright position.

Looks like there is room to drop the seat and have your torso lay across the body work for what might be a nice riding position ? Or at least better than that !

@@stevencochran4284 I would do that too, make it more aerodynamic and put a windscreen at the right angle, in a way it looks like the Sabre jet from the old days. I think he wanted the seating position to be just like a quads. Still, his metal craftmanship is great.

Definitely hate the position . Classic upright position with some sweptback bars would have done wonders

“Hope you like it?” It’s stunning and a great example of someone with great imagination and lashings of skill. Great effort

Authentically retro but somehow has a Star Wars pod racer feel, can't stop gorping, amazing work mate!

Gavin Zissou The main bad guy in the Star Wars pod race had a big pod and he had a similar grill so that’s what is coming up in your mind

Usually not a fan of trikes but love what he did. Very league of extraordinary gentlemen/captain Nemo age vibes.

Looks like the speeder from the Star Wars movie that the girl rode.

Looks super cool...the riding position seems...awkward...maybe. Still super cool. Love all the hand beaten bodywork

Right, I thought so, too. The pegs could go lower since the bike doesn't lean, then the knees wouldn't be bent that much.

would look a lot better on an old timey oval race track, with a full suite of retro gear.

One of the more cooler builds I've seen in a long time

"more cooler".................idiot you

This guy is a proper bike builder. Thats' beautiful

Joy on three wheels, a thing of beauty. Bravo Tim. BRAVO!

Anybody that spends this amount of time hand forming his dream gets my thumbs up. Nice to see folk getting away from two wheels in the back, as its so unstable in turns vs two wheels up front. I have a hand cycle that has the front drive wheel configuration and have rolled it a few times, while in turns at speed. Not that the single rear drive can't be rolled, as well, it is just far more stable under most conditions. I've got an electric assist version of the single rear drive trike I'm working on. Keep em' spinning.

One of the best of the show! Well done Tim

What a unique and superb project! Much praise to Tim for having the vision and commitment to bring off this one of a kind vehicle. This machine should go into production as a new class of motorcycle. It rocks!

You’ll definitely rock the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride 2020!!! Pure class mate!

So stunning, so authentic - absolutely nailed the look. Love the Austin Seven wheels.

This is by far one of the coolest things i've seen this year. Bravo! The body work is genius!

Tim great job on your trike. Seven years (slow and passion = excellence)

That riding position looks good for about 10 minutes at a time!

Until you are moving, I rode my BMW with a similar riding position and the wind cushions you and the legs are fine.

BMW should be on your door step offering you a job . Creative design well thought out Good work congratulations, you can ride that with true pride.

The talent on this channel is un believeable

Awesome, definitely the best thing to do with a quad. Looks like something BMW would have built themselves in the 50s which I think is the best complement!

i have had this design in my mind for years! this is the coolest bike i have ever seen!

That is simply stunning! The idea, the design, the craftsmanship - Im blow away! Well done!!!

That's a lovely machine. You've done a beautiful job with it, Mr. Tim.

What an incredible build this is! Looks like a piece of 20's Art Deco automotive prototype designing.

Waste of a good BMW . He blew 7 years and end up with something Worse Than he Started with.

Nice work. Aluminum is a unique metal to work with. By that I mean it has a learning curve that is an absolutely flustrating pain in the arse. I had to learn to love it. Currently the only machine and welding shop in the area that can turn out proper quality aluminium repairs and custom fabrications. Steel and even to some extent Stainless Steel there's a bit more competition. But branching out into less common alloys has been intresting and "paid the bills" Brilliantly done I'd say ....and all the more impressive from the limitations of a home shop no less !

Talk about craftmanship, this is one of the coolest self built things ive ever seen, great job! love it.

I don't know ANYTHING about bikes, but I do know that's a beautiful machine! Excellent work!

It does look very cool in the driveway. I will give you a thumbs up when I see you cornering at a moderate 50-60 km/hr.

The work and imagination is astounding. I love stuff thats totally different from the usual.

Well done, good work. Ditch the wire wheels for a modern soft spoke set and ad a big ass gumball in the back and you have something thats retro but of modern day. Agiain very well done! Super impressed with you process of cardboard mock up and then all the hand work in the metal fab. (black wheels with a touch of your paint color for accents)

Wow, that is some very nice tin banging! Innovation is not dead! Great job and thanks for letting us in on it!

Looks like something from Star Wars. Brilliant work!!!!

Sick bike. I had a design idea a few years that looks exactly like this but then for children. Hotrod bike mix. But building this is a different level! Aweome.

REALLY IMPRESSED! INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL! Deep bow of respect!

The boxer engines are the best in the world. They last forever! Gorgeous trike.

THIS IS THE BEST REVERSE TRACK I EVER SEEN

And didn’t even start the video and I’m already in love! Super cool and great styling.

Lovely work and a great description of it. It’s a skill in itself talking to a camera and explaining anything, I know my attempts are awful, so hat off on both accounts. Ride carefully and with enjoyment.

The one-eyed front end is fantastic. Very nice design work. Love the slant, everything about it. And that little fairing around the top of the shock. Such a wealth of great detail, beautifully executed. Bravo.

10/10 man. I learned to ride on the 73 r75/5 my dad passed down to me. Incredible work done here so out of the box from everything else these days

Unbelievable! Fantastic work. Beautiful and retro - I love it !!!! I would like to drive this.

Love it, looks great, would love to ride it, really nice in a old world style, thanks for building it, exceptional craftsmanship.

That's a proper bit o' kit, mate! Excellent!

You are an artist !!!!!! Amazing job.

This is truly amazing. Beautiful design with complete attention to detail. I'm absolutely blown away by this.

Amazing aluminium work, such good details on this, well done!

One of the most beautiful piece of machinery I've ever seen

Man who has a lot of time to play. Fortunately he cracked it. Makes it worth it to explore Well done

Great project. I really like the results. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to ride. Thanks for sharing, Paul from Texas

That is a GORGEOUS work of art! Good on ya, mate!

Great look, excellent work, though his position on it looks hard on the back and doesnt seem comfortable, but the trike itself is very impressive and visually stunning.

You've got to admire Brits for their ingenuity. I salute you!!!

Awesome build dude. She looks amazing.

Art Deco is not a movement but a person, and he would love you for this! From one metal-botherer and fellow creator of beautiful things to another, BRAVO, I love your 'Silver-Arrow lite'. Best wishes from me (and all the mice in the workshop) 🔨🐀🐀🐀

Not a trike fan but damn! That’s gorgeous, and looks like something bmw would have built themselves back in the day.

FN beautiful! Love the whole concept, very well done.

That is astonishingly good, that man is a genius

Thats awesome! Great job Tim.

Other than the seat being 6" too high, it's one of the nicest builds on KZread

This trike is a work of art, beautiful art deco love it, the detail is incredible.

Absolutely stunning build!

That's absolutely SICK! I love it so beautiful great job!

Lovely detail. Superb build.

Absolutely brilliant mate well done, love it!

That is just the sweetest job. Congratulations man that is absolutely amazing.

Lovely workmanship, I rode my modded BeeMa with a similar riding position and it was fine and dandy.

Nice looking bike, but like many custom bikes looks very uncomfortable to ride. This bike would do very well with a tilting trike front mechanism. But as long as the builder is happy...that's all that counts. I applaud him for the task and learning how to work with aluminum. Thanks for sharing.

FANTASTIC!!! Great trike, great skills...

This man is a design wizard

Can't say anything but respect. Like the fact that you didn't make it look like a futuristic vehicle. Even though you could. Bodywork is amazing. Imho, only handlebars do not match. Easy upgrade though

Truly unique and one of a kind, just gorgeous...however, I could not live with that riding position.

Absolutely a work of art Bravo!

WOW! My dream comes true!!! Even better!!! Amazing build! 😍😍😍😍😍

Dude what a beautiful build looks very high end, impressive

Awesome dude , this is one of the simplest and thus the best reverse trikes ive seen

Sweet ride!! Great job!

Just awesome! Normal trikes are just a mistake but reverse trikes just...work. In mechanical simplicity they are more efficient than 4 wheels.

Congratulations Tim. Good work. Cheers from Barcelona

Great Job ...... Looks like fun to ride too!

Absolutely gorgeous. Nice work!

That's a beautiful piece of machinery.

Love the workmanship & authetic

Omg man, what a beautiful creation!

Great piece of work!

Brilliant job, mate!

Gobsmackingly brilliant, the builder is a genius!

Really nice work. Must feel good to be able to show it to the wider public.

Looks amazing really quite perfect !!

Great job on the build, I think it looks great!!

Beautiful workmanship. I have two 1972 R75/5's, 500 serial numbers apart, one of which is being repainted and the aluminum redone to factory standards. Both have 80 K miles and still run very strong with no problems yet, except for new clutches, tires, batteries, and one starter and have always been my favorites in my stable of vintage bikes. And now, since seeing your build have figuered out what to do with the second bike. My Wife recently bought me a 2016 Harley FRLT three-wheel Motorcycle which I really like and enjoy but was looking into putting a side car on the second Beemer, but after getting the Harley having been working on a few sketches of how to create a BMW trike in the same manner but loved your presentation and am thinking I can incorporate that retro look into my design - Time will tell. In the meantime, Awesome Build. Ride Safe.

This is brilliant! I absolutely love the aesthetics! The craftsmanship is amazing!

That's brilliant - Love it !

Spectacular work, mate!

fine job.mate.thanks for posting

The work on the body of the machine is incredible

Awsum bike/trike build!

Very unique. I love it.

That is one beautiful build!

Dope build mate!!
