Trike|Spring 2017

This trike is named ‘salamander’ after the alchemists’ magical animal, which was able to turn metal into gold. Perfect for a goldwing, we reckon…

Mark Reynolds is an HVAC engineer for the railway. As you can see, he’s firmly taken his sights beyond ‘iron horses’ and towards ‘golden trikes’ with this stunning-looking GoldWing rhapsody in gold and black.

“The trike is called Salamander, which is known as the alchemists’ lizard,” says Mark. “Inspired by alchemists who tried turning lead into gold, I’ve taken a rusty chop and turned it into a magnificent golden trike.

“I’ve been into anything to do with bikes for as long as I can remember and especially chops,” he says. “I’ve owned this 1977 GoldWing GL1000 since 1992, initially as a standard bike, and I attended many rallies on it until I had a big ‘off ’. Then I chopped it and ran it for a few years until too much winter riding made it too tatty. So having never owned or built a trike, I thought this would been a fitting end for the ’Wing so the idea of the trike was born.”
