For £100 it is worth taking just because of engine and shafts. But I admitt it is bloody ugly :)

 And what about the gear change. It looks pretty difficult with the gear stick in between your legs... :oops:

I think one is better off buying a bike and attaching a sidecar to it. It looks a lot better. The seller actually ruined an aircooled 126 to build the horrid thing.

 Now we are talking. I remember this one. It looks very nice for a trike. The only thing is, it seems like it is a hard tail. That must be one bumpy ride. Can`t imagine they go round corners very well anyway.

I can't understand what is the point to have a trike?!?!?  :o
Not car, not bike? Well but as style and taste is always different if I would have to choose I would choose one closest to HarleyDavidson.
Any RoadKing or NightTrain seria.

Oooh yes. A HarleyDavidson motorbike - very nice. They also have a motorbike with a sidecar. There is a HarleyDavidson (HD) dealer near Fulham Broadway in London. They have a number of beautiful new and used HD motorbikes on display. They are expensive.

the smile factor on a trike is like no other...  i had the chance to drive a vw trike last year before my bike accident, it just makes you smile. i recomend it to everyone lol. the trike above is a softtail as it has springs and shocks on the rear. top mounted over the engine.

If you look closely at the first photo you can see the coil overs just behind the seat.  As well as my sons 126 project clockwork orange, not progressing much due to the cold weather and my 500 gamine's running repairs I have a midi chop, spider replica of the O C Choppers spider bike. Anyway I am in the process of puting it on the road as a trike using the rear axle from a 150cc quad.

You means WARS HD dealer Amateb? It is a lovely place. I am currently talking with them about one nice 1947 WLA. And my Russian friend just started to build a custom one based on a vrod. Amazing place, amazing machines, superb people and I could stay there forever :) upstairs having coffee.

 My bad Ralph. I can see the coil overs now. Just wasn`t looking properly, but lots of them I`ve seen before were hard tails.

Yup, that is the place, WARR's London. I could stay there and chat with the staff all day about HD bikes. Unfortunately, my other half do not like motorbikes at all.
