Many thanks to you all, riding the trike is not bad, its a Rewaco aircooled vw thats had a turbo, fuel injecton fitted and a big bore rebuild to 1800cc (amongst other mods) and it gives me 100 gee gees at the back wheels, other than having to be aware of a prediliction for wheelies at the drop of a hat its very similar in ride position to my old 1958 Triumph Thunderbird chop except that as the trike has got girders not 16" over springers on the front end it's not like trying to ride a punk (girl) doing the pogo round the bends! I suppose my next major job will to be getting round to sorting out and selling the £1200 worth or so in spares I have stashed in my hoard for my late lamented and very much deceased Speedy.
All the best and stay upright, Horse.
