    Buy a car at least you don't get wet, or better yet a van so you can get the dirt bike in the back.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    So how do you explain those vw beetle engined trikes?

    Only ill handling because they're not built for speed. That can be addressed.


    Your YZF750 was never gonna win any beauty contests, but you still rate it very highly.

    But I think I'd rather own a Hillman Avenger than a trike.

    You have never owned an Avenger then have you?. I did, AND it ran on CNG. A 55L Faber tank taking up 1/2 the boot space.

    Is a Hillman Avenger the same as a Hillman Hunter? My dad had a Hunter and it was surprisingly capable on a gravel road. My brother wrote it off THE DAY HE GOT HIS DRIVERS LICENCE by rolling it. Dad was, shall we say, unhappy. He loved that car.
