Evening all.

Just to say hi to everyone.
Little bit of info.....
I've had many bikes over the years but health issues have politely ushered me to swerve in this direction now. (just as well as I've always wanted one).
I llive on the South Coast, been an engineer most of my life, have my own workshop at home now as I've recently changed career etc, blahhh.

I'm currently in the market to hopefully purchase a little sweetie not too far from me and am I guess, looking for something roadworthy that reqs work to put my 'touch' to.

There's lot of debate on the subject of vw based trikes being a bit front twitchy (which would figure due to weight mass location I guess). But I'm just here to say hi all, nice friendly forum and thanks for having me!

Welcome Aboard.

As for VW trikes, well.....correctly built ones dont twitch, it's usually the front end trail thats at fault.

here's some interesting reading with pictures.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm near Portsmouth if you in that direction.

I also have a mate selling a VW, up Birmingham way.
Problem is, VW never made a V8

Welcome to the hospital for sick trikers.
The nurse will see you to a empty padded cell as soon as we wash down the walls. She'll bring the meds later but keep away from the green pills, and don't drool out of the windows as it upsets the locals..

Oh and some folks dont realise that you have to put weight onto the front end of a VW trike to counter balance the engine hanging behind the rear wheels.
