Default todays adventure Soooo much fun, and only £200, with pics

The adventure begins

A mate of mine Tim, purchases a trike and we decide to have a blast on it on the beach.

So, off we go with the flat bed transit and this trike firmly stapped to the back.

We are having a great time, taking it in turns, going up and down the sand dunes, and falling off, and generally having lots of fun.

So tims says to me, "go on, go for a ride on it to the sea, and ill wait here and have a ciggy"

SO, off i go into the distance and get to the sea.....



look round and im miles away.





I think, oh shit, he ll be a bit worried, and i spin off to get back to the sand dunes, when i give a load of throttle while turning and this happens
luckily i used my cat like reflexes to superman jump off it before it killed me...lol


i get it back on 3 wheels, and off i go.....
it seems like aaaaages when i get back, and its tims turn to go ride it...
i get on the back and off we go

then all of a sudden it starts doing a wheelie.... and the back wheel falls off

picture for dramatic effect, no one was killed


now look how bastard far away we are with only 2 wheels.....which doesnt sound too bad, but we should have 3....


so now we have a dilema...

we strap the wheel on, and sort of balance it while trying to steer and very slowly driving it.....fooking very hard work, and after 1 and 1/2 HOURS we finally get it back to the transit



then tim notices that the spider that was on the bike at the lockup was STILL on the bike....he must have had a fooking great time

lmao


fooking brilliant fun....definately doing it again,...he has a crosser that needs a bit of work, but thats next weekends adventure... and we ll go out on both when they re both fixed
