Roland the rat trike.

[D Spares & Tyres]

Bub, if you are happy with that then that is great and I am happy for you but I cannot possibly press 'like' on this one ☺

[Christine]

One number out  for a Porsche turbo owner with a KKK turbo ? And they have lots of cash.... 

[bub2006]

Well this maybe why I generally alarm the public! And at least now I'm noticeable if anyone sees me!

[bub2006]

True.

 

Especially when towing.

 

Look Mr Marsden,that was a one off and I apologised but yes a leaf spring snake bar isn't what you want flying at the windscreen of your 205!

[bub2006]

Hooli doesn't scare easily.

 

But probably...

 

Yes.

What are you insinuating?!

[drum]

That trike is an abomination bub. Love it!

 

I've just had a look and 1 RAT is available. Only £75k as well.

[SiC]

 

Good job you have kids already. No seat belts and that gear knob looks in a dangerous position if you need to stop quickly.

[adw1977]

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!

It's got seatbelts on the rear and I'm braced by the pedals in an emergency stop!

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

[Dave_Q]

I would leave the plate unless some Brexiteer comes and offers you £££ for it.

 

If you transfer the plate off to another vehicle (£80) you get issued another age related plate for it free anyway.

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

....

The only opinion of any consequence in the whole thread.

 

But fuck me, that makes an Invacar restoration almost look like a worthwhile endeavour.

..... glad you like it m8

I owned this for a few years when the kids were small and wanted to come away with me. Good fun. Friendly machines, strangers would always want to chat about it.

 

 

One’s too many, ten’s not enough!

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

[Cavcraft]

If theshadow took a couple of kilos of Columbian marching powder and went to Copart armed with £49.50, he couldn't possibly find anything worse.

[Mally]

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.

[xtriple]

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!

[brandersnatch]

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

Something to consider thanks.

Thought he had already. That yellow thing he's got up for sale on here.

[Des]

Fuck my old boots, Mad Max meets allotment wheelbarrow, glad to see you've worked out how to make your own luck, you'll go far lad.

[Supernaut]

If you ride this up to shitefest, what drink am I buying you?

[bub2006]

I'll have a Jaeger or vodka and red bull please sir.

[Supernaut]

Jaeger or vodka is fine, but don't sully it with energy drinks on my watch!

[bub2006]

Lol. If I manage to make it I'll try bring the trike.
