Roland the rat trike.

I know bugger all about bikes and trikes, but really this is all that matters:

 

I've not felt as happy as I do in a long time.

 

 

As for the numberplate, if it's had that number all its life then it's part of its identity and I wouldn't change it.

 

I would change the actual plate though - it's too new for silver on black!

Hate silver on black myself. Probably going to end up with a pressed steel.

Just an observation Bub. 

See the bars on brandersnatch's that go out from the chassis to the back wheel.

You could put something similar on yours, coming out from the tube hole in your chassis, to the outside edge of the tyre.

I didn't have them on mine, but a young lady was riding it after I sold it and hit a bollard with the back wheel.

Made me wonder if it would make any difference.

My friend did say there's a way of swapping reg plate for free but I don't know how and I didn't ask further. I know the connations of it but it's just a reg plate to me!

If you tell DVLA that you find the plate offensive or something along tose lines, they will change it free of charge! Strange, but true. What a heap, I love it! :)

Is that a V8 with drums all round? looks safe*!

It had a Fiesta front drum and a Sierra IRS setup with a servo. Brakes worked very well. I had it for about six years, never a problem. It’s still taxed and MOT’d, I’ve seen it about recently

 

 

One’s too many, ten’s not enough!

Something to consider thanks.
