I never understood the attraction of a trike. Seems like all the bad parts of motorcycling w/o the fun (leaning) parts.

That said, that's a fine looking machine, and I hope you're having a ball w/ it.

Agreed up to a point, but it was a health-based decision, and has turned out to be interesting. Gets more nods and waves than I've seen in a long time. Steering is harder work on my weak arms, though....

I'm still trying to find the right cheapo toucch-up: Boots' No. 17 "Risky Red" is just s bit on the lighjt side, but Rimmel and Max Factor are soooo expensive. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Thanks, but don't look too closely.. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] More shots here for anyone who's interested..
Had a look at some serious trikery when visiting Landy's workshop for a bit of fettling on Saturday,. Any pics of your impressive items Andy?

Hi Pict,

So which Burger did you have?, and what are your thoughts about it?

The reason i ask is that my left wrist is rubbish these days after my off last year, and a scoot may be the answer to staying on the road,
But was after something a bit lighter than the TDM as it's just too heavy when loaded with camping gear.

J.

Burgman 400 - good machine and would suit your needs. Selling mine atm (2007, black, cared for, low mileage, year's MOT & tax, new tyres & batt etc.). Have PM'd my phone number so we can talk generally or specifically if you'd like.
