    Very nice.Very nice indeed. Looks like a proper Morgan to be sure. But, does it have a V Twin engine? And, based on what Mr frosty says, you couldn't drive it if you only had a class 1 licence, cos it is classified as a motorcycle for licencing purposes? which seems a bit silly.

    Does anyone built custom trikes in NZ? I remember seeing an article some years ago about some guys building custom BIG bikes up Hawkes Bay way. These were truely monster bikes. Does anyone know 'Gary' from Porirua way whom built that big red trike and I believe still works in Wellington ? That was a great trike. Always crusing around with the dog on the back.. ended up getting a ride back up to Hataitai one drunken Friday night with me and dog howling all the way on the back tray. All the way from Lambton Quay , up Willis Street and through the Mt Vic tunnel. So lucky no police around that night. Too much of that dark stuff from Ireland. Ah...youth.
    Then came the day when cages were confined to zoos.. and the bipedals ruled the earth again.. Tu@ advt # 666 Return of the beasties
