LOL , You are not the first to say that snooper

The bikes are all completely rideable autocare , no point in making em otherwise LOL. Obviously they don't ride like a normal bike , a bit of practice is needed. You can ride all of them easily on the roads , the one with the shotgun in goes up hills really good , in fact you can stand up and pedal it

The trikes you and your mate made carl are way cool. My dad had a Virago , which is a prime candidate for a conversion i believe , due to it being shaft drive.
Cheers
