Ahhh the trike OF death man....   Yet another piece of literary Genuis.

That guy is funny as, he should be writing for rove or some other Aussie comedy television act.

Actually maybe he does .

I really like the PIC of it high atop a pole, thats a cracker

Good find MX250... you have made my day. ;D ;D

Firko see if you can get the pole with the bike to mount it on as in one of the pics. It sounds like a bit of a beast maybe it has the ignition out the 71 tm400 thanks Michael.

I like this bit

As soon as I put the T shirt on I drew a crowd, using a pencil and a piece of paper. It wasn't very good because I couldn't get the faces to look real. :D

here is a new one he does tend to talk a bit of rubbish I wouldnt mind buying the bike but he is to busy cracking jokes to tell you to much about the bike it apears to be a 74gt50 but motor number has me thinking if it matches the frame would be real good he comes up with some good items but his storys all though pretty funny dont tell the story of the bike.

Really a gt50 or 80 couldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding so I know he hasnt been outrunning anyone on that thing.

Have a look at the add
