Noooooo!

I saw one (same colour) at KP a year or two back. Amazingly, it was
running.

Powered by the Dutch Anka engine (the W was silent).

and it's in Norwich, that's just up the road from me.

I think I can manage to resist it though... 'cos I rode one once and,
therefore, know how well they handle. (Actually, riding one is nearly
as scary as following someone else who's riding one.)

I followed one on Sunday at a NACC run (www.buzzing.org),
the bloody thing was all over the road.

I spoke to the chap at the lunch stop, and he confirmed that
it rode as bad as it looked. However, it made everyone that
saw it smile and I feel it's good that even beast such as
these are kept alive and running...

That was Pete Stanners, that was.

He'd borrowed it to do the run - he must have been proud of riding it
'cos he asked me to take a photo of him with it [1] and send him a
couple of prints.

You should have seen the one that turned up at Gaze's auction in Diss a
few weeks ago - that made everyone who saw it fall about laughing. It
had been fitted with every accessory and decoration imaginable.

They do need adornment though don't they? As you get up
close and see just how poor the quality is, and how
unimaginative the styling.

I wonder if anyone has ever done a custom job with one?

Do you mean using a sledgehammer or petrol and a match?
