It's a great idea.
In about '88 I did a model of a 3-wheeler (at la but before!! Scorpion) that I fancied building, but didn't have a clue where to start, no
space to build it etc etc.
Now, however, things might be different.
Still, need to finish Locost first

seeing no one has answered yet, your right stephan, thats the scorpion. Looks great, although a bit pricey.

I have 3 friends who all have 3 wheelers, 2 of them have 2 a piece! thet are all one wheel at the rear. One of them had a silver grinnall scorpion and
a Hudson Spirit (single seater) the other has 2 Hudson Kindred spirits 2 seater sit one behind the other like a motorised bob sleigh! and the other
has a Single seater spirit which he crashed! and a Kindred spirit.
The Hudson kits are based around the renault 5 in its various guises, notably the "gordini" the 1.4 engine will push out 100bhp in
standard tune, couple that to a weight of 320kg,.......it is fast and nible too.
i saw 2 hill climb trikes in whick kit this month £5800 and £5200 both with ZZ1100 bike engines in, advertised as road legal with tax and test! now
that would be quick.If a trike forum were to be created you would have 3 members for sure in the 3 friends of mine who are too keen to whine about the
notable and repid demise of 3 wheel kits on the market, especialy if the weight limit is to be abolished it will no doubt put some of them out of
business

Hoomer, or is it humour (humor in the US)
If you put the reel from that mower in the background over the driveshaft/propshaft, you have a mighty fine "personal" shaver! Guess I
watched too many Junkyard Wars and Monster Garage episodes.

I think the only reason a trike should ever be built with two wheels in the rear is so the youngster riding it can pedal the front one.

Apart from superior handling, the other reason I decided to go two in front is, I saw a twat with the obligatory fringed leather waistcoat following
some choppers/lowriders through traffic in the city.
The bikes got through between the cars fine, but the fat oaf on the two behind, nearly tore his 8ollocks off on his ape hangers when his rear wheels
became firmly wedged between a car and a van.
I nearly laughed my c0ck off. I even got out of my car and applauded.
Cheers, Rorty.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
