Hey guys, I can't stop smiling .

I took this for a test ride this afternoon. Wowwww. I did something today that I haven't done for 17 months, rode a bike, well not exactly a bike but a Boom Trike from Germany. It has a 2 litre Peugeot motor and boy does this baby move. It's automatic and the hand brake does all, so no need for costly conversions.
I only got up to 130 kms but still has heaps of grunt in her. If I win my court case Johan, the importer, will be my first phone call.
johan is a C7 quad and has been riding them for twenty years, that's him in the pic giving me some instructions before I took off . I think hobbit will like this. Bring on my court case lol.

One of my brothers had one, only with a smart car engine though - had loads of problems with the ECU mapping. That one looks neat, but they're bloody pricey . . . I'll have to stick with my Harley, the wife refuses to go out on the streets . . .

Going off topic here but have you ever seen a smart car with a Hayabusa engine conversion? It's insane!

The auto is 2 ltr 140 HP 103 KW, with electronic fuel injection, water cooled. I think that's enough power for me.
