When I saw trike I thought you meant one of these!


I wanted one soooo bad when I was a kid. They had a rather fundamental design flaw though, they would roll over and land on top of you.

Trikes are a lot of fun... in a straight line. They're not as much fun around corners


I went out on a friends one the other weekend, it uses a jag rear axle with a Rover V8 engine and auto box, it even had a Jag XJS front wheel

Fast in a straight line, but getting it round corners and roundabouts took some skill.

Turned a few heads though, it's a proper rat-trike, matt black paint, no chrome, V8 engine with open pipes, two pissed up knobs on the back and a hells angel riding
