£3100 Starting Bid ... ! Really ?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330226004690

Tidy, yes, and mildly appealing (in that strange way you might love a
friendly old mutt with three legs that pisses on your favourite armchair),
but £3100 - surely not ?

 

Only if you've got 3100 quid that you've fallen out with and want to see the
back of.

Well, I'm sure one day I'll end up buying a trike- mainly because I
haven't yet. And... given my penchant for the K engines I'd be tempted
by something like this.

But, really, it's a gash fucking conversion. Some cheap and cheerful
hard tail and then the front end's all fucked around by removing the
fairing that should be there; that was an RT at one point in its life (I
think.)

There was a nicer one on ebay a while back which had the fairing, decent
suspension *and* all the bits so it could be converted back. That one
cost about 2500 which seemed much closer to the price to me.

Ideal elefantentreffen vehicle though, it must be said... but 3,100.
No.

 

Exactly. A bikie shop local to me has a trike based around a Kwak 1300 (6
potter) engine but it remends me of something that should be in a Batman
movie. **** off big fins over the back wheels, so it's to be hoped it never
finds itself underwater or people will think it's a pair of sharks doing
some synchronised swimming.

It's probably THE ugliest trike I've ever seen.

Do tell,
My mate wants a trike, and a 6 potter at that!
He saw one built around the Kwak last year at Wymondham, and tried to buy it
then, but the owner wouldn't let go of it.
So where is this one hiding out, and I'll pass it on.
TIA

Beautifully built frame and an apparently recon engine. Seats 3 (two on
bucet seats and one in then normal rider position unless the handlebars that
are fitted aren't staying in situ. It's got a couple of clocks that the
passengers could see, but the rider's going to have a problm unless he's got
eyes up his ricker.

I'll grab a couple of pics of it coz I'm going back on Tuesday to pick up
some oil seals, but I'm not sure if it'll be for sale when it's finished.
I'll find out though.

Well..... a Reliant arse end has nothing on this thing and it's been hand
painted in gloss black. The frame is FAR nicer than the tins from a "bling"
POV.

Compared to the one at the shop, your pic is one of pure unadulterated
beauty.

I'll definitely have to find a way to post pics and then I'll take some of
said trike.

Wear eye protection when I post 'em.

I got a few pics today and told the owner why I wanted them. I'm gutted,
because he WANTS it to look like something froma Batman film. Unfortunately,
he's fucking managed it. The pics (poor qulity coz it's like a fucking cve
inside the back rooms of the shop) are on my phone so I'll see what they lok
like on a puter screen and then get 'em posted up somewhre if they're
veiwable.
