I agree with ^^^^

It's not to my taste, I'd never want to own or drive it, but I do admire the effort he's put into it. A lot of hard work has gone into that.

So that's what happens when a bike and a little sports car crash into each other in just the righ way?

If you could choose to drive it from either the car or the bike, I'd like it.

fair play to him





The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

Thanks - that says a bit more & shows the guy has put some thought / humour into it: he must be used to the Marmite response by now...

Respect to him for effort, but I'd still rather have a trike.

I think it's an excellent thing! It's the sort of thing that most of us on here would like to be able to build, (but probably not own!) The skill it has taken to make impresses me. Rather than just flick through some catalogue or website and order a few bits to build something, this guy has started with nothing (apart from a perfectly fine motorbike!!) and made something special. I bet you won't see many of those in Asda carpark!!

I think the problem I have with them is making a miniature ferrari or lambo shaped sidecar just feels 'wrong'.
It also feels like a wasted effort as with their obvious skills they could have created a 'proper' car for very little additional effort which we'd all go ooooooh over.

Used to work with a guy who raced Laverda's at the weekend.
