My green Reliant trike would touch 90 if I pushed it hard & would cruise all day at 75 - 80.
I've seen plenty of bike engined trikes running Reliant axles apparently without problems. What are you planning on using?

O.K, now I'm confused!
Would you be Gary in Derby?
Cos I've just posted a shirt to you, but thought it was TerrorTubby! Are you both called Gary?
Nice avatar by the way!

No, I just assumed Gary was TerrorTubby. Sent it to the Derby address you gave with the cheque though -so it's on it's way!

A mate used to have a regal with a tuned 1275 GT mini motor in and he never had any problems with his axle and we saw over the ton on a couple of occasions, or should I say I experienced it over the ton as I must admit to having my eyes shut as we bounced down the A21 :-X :-[ ::) :o

Yeah, the trikes handle fine, but I find 75- 80's plenty when you're sat on a rigid frame, 20 inches off the deck! You don't need speed to have fun on a trike.
Hoodies? Argh! Do you realise how much running about's involved in this merchandise thing?!
The embroidered patches are ready now, so you buy one & sew it on a hoodie I guess. If you wanted one embroidered, like the workshirts, it could be done as a special order. Not sure if the logo could be printed on the back. We've got to keep the normal merchandise to a sensible level & just stock what people will regularly buy. I have to pay for everything from my own pocket until your cheques arrive & just can't afford to keep huge stocks of gear piled up on the off chance someone will buy it.
I could sell you a T shirt pre-holed if you want one!
