This is the first time I've had one of these bizarre little contraptions,and I have to say that it's quite fun to ride,in a terriffying kind of way,although I've only ridden it around the site here,and think I lack the courage to take it out on the road ! It came to me with some other bikes I bought,all of which had been in long term storage,this one having been off the road since 2003. It started very easily,sounds fine,and actually pulls quite well,and also has current V5.
