Its a con ...........thats far too heavy to be towed by a bike and the gearing would be all wrong for towing large weights anyway.
If I recall correctly the legal towing limit for a bike \ trike (in this country) is 250Kg other countries may have different laws.

I've come to the conclusion that Eribafolk has a hidden Motorcycle Chapter within its midst and it must be time to "come out" and tell us whimps what you ride?

My first motor- bike !!

I don't own a bike now but still scrounge rides from my brother,
and anyone else silly enough to turn up here on a bike.

Likewise, I don't own a bike at the moment, but I'm looking

I started in the 60's with an Ariel Colt 200cc 4stroke, then BSA C11 and C11G, A CZ 250 2 stroke which left a trail of blue smoke behind and would stick to the road like glue. It would lean over round bends until the centre stand touched the road. Lots of fun! until stolen and dumped in the river in Bedford.
Last was a Honda CX500c, with the low riding position as I'm a bit short in the leg.
At the moment I'm looking for a Triumph Speed Twin or similar (pre 1960) as a machine to ride and an investment. Prices for vintage and veteran British Motorcycles are rocketing.

I never had a bike although had a pal who had a Vespa and we often used to go up the Dales to watch the Scott trial event. I pillioned with him to Butlins at Filey and that's another story. One of my uncles, now deceased was a keen TT tider on the ilse of Man. He once took me for a spin round the lanes at Hurworth near Darlo were we lived and it was a bit scary!!

Here's the Honda Dream that I owned whilst serving overseas in Singapore - 350cc if memory serves. Built like a brick .....house which it needed to be in order to do daily battle with the locals. Ran over twelve of them before returning to the UK and not a mark on it.

Also owned this thing - Yamaha (?) for riding around in the dirt near the back of our house....

The rocker cover looks a bit Royal Enfield to me

From the position where the exhaust comes out of the cylinder I would guess a 2 stroke single about 125 cc

Bridgestone

Here's a couple of videos I shot during a 2011 trip down to Gardasee (Lake Garda) in Italy. The first, a run starting from near the NE corner of Lake Garda taking in Lagos d' Ledro and d' Idro. The second, up on the Monte Baldo mountain road which runs up North from the town of Garda as far as Nago at the NE corner of the lake. Great road this, climbs and climbs with a real mixture of scenery as well as weather which can leave one starting off in what appears to be rain but with you soon ending up in bright sunshine. Great area for motorcycling. Go on you know you want to LOL. I've seen a Norton being carried inside a Puck so there's no excuse..........

Well I started bikes in the early 70's back in those days you could have a 250cc on an L plate

And a couple of quid bought me an aged DMW with a 249 cc two-stroke Villiers engine rusting in the frame..............which came out of a shed somewhere I vaguely recall
After much tinkering it worked and I was mobile

A couple of years later a 1959 500cc Triumph was bought from another back garden shed for not much dosh (times were hard in them days) and me being a tinkerer had a go at customising it in the current style.

Years later I got back into bikes again and bought a 250cc Yamaha

Not impressed with how it handled I got rid of it and got another one a bit newer

There was a local dealer at the time selling 350cc Royal Enfield bullet's imported from India (where they still made them new) ..........so I bought one .................they were crap and it soon went again for somewhat of a loss of money

Next in search of something with a bit more go in it, to go rallying I bought a Z550 Kawasaki in line 4 cylinder 4 stroke which went like a rocket

Now about that time I always fancied building a trike as I had seen a few at rallies so I bought a basket case Yamaha XS1100 and set to work ...............result

I had more fun building it than I did riding it and that was my last bike.
