Thought i'd post up some pics of the first ever trike i owned. I got this off a friend when i was 14 or 15, its completely home built with an XL 500 motor in it if i remember correctly. This is what i learnt to ride trikes on. This would have to be one of the most reliable bikes ive ever seen too. In the 12 months or so i owned it and the 3 or so years my mates owned it after me i cant ever once remember it having any maintanence done on it. Not even an oil change. Just petrol and go. The only work we ever did to it was to reweld the axle cause we snapped it and we tried to fix the brakes because it never had any. :twisted: This trike was an absolute blast, rough but awesome fun.

I reckon! I have no idea what it came off either. I had a friend shorten it one day though, he rode too close to a fence post. :lol:

I cant remember the top speed as its been over 10 years since i owned it but i know it did over 120KPH. It handled pretty good too.
