brandersnatch Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 A fair few years ago, this was taken in 2004, I owned this. Rover V8. Auto box. Sierra IRS. Looks shite! Wasn't! Handled well, went well. Never let me down. Still going well, I saw it last year. One's too many, ten's not enough! CreepingJesus and Aston Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingJesus Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Remember being wowed by Tom Tuohy's trikes many years ago, but I've long wondered...how well do they steer? What's the turning circle like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the turning circle like?That's a Tom Touhy trike. Number 77. It really was very good. Steering was a bit heavy but it would track straight and true and corner very well. Turning circle was fine, never gave any problems. One's too many, ten's not enough! CreepingJesus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I saw two Goldwings in convoy, both had trailers. Might as well just buy an Aygo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I saw two Goldwings in convoy, both had trailers. Might as well just buy an Aygo. I used to regularly see a fully-dressed Goldwing with sidecar & trailer around Margate when I lived in that part of the world. And occasionally an NSU Kettenkrad, which was much, much nicer.

John F Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 No indeed, iirc the z250's cam ran in the head which killed lots of them off at a young age. brandersnatch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 305 was a nice bike - when it ran Wow, they've got their own website http://www.z250.co.uk/index.html (Discovered whilst double-checking whether later models of the z250 also got a belt drive like the GPz 305... they did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, not even that... it appears to be a solo effort from some dyed-in-the-wool z250 licker & mainly consists of some old press photos & a description of the features of each model. Nary a mention of phosphor bronze, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
