Always looking for brass VB the bit on the tank I actually paid for (strange as it may seem)

Nice sticker on the tank Doc!
That's another point to remember if riding a trike for the first time. You have to physically lead the trike into bends -obviously you can't lean it. The faster you corner, the harder you have to push on the bars to keep it on line. So wide bars give you more leverage. Careful though -charging up to a corner & throwing the bars onto full lock doesn't guarantee you'll actually go round the bend, (if you're not there already). Two big fat car tyres, running in a straight line, will cancel out the single, skinny bike tyre up front & send you heading straight across the bend & into the ditch on the other side, if you're lucky.
Be very careful please all you budding builders, till you've learnt your machine's quirks & foibles.

Which is why having Earle's type forks with a wider tyre is better for trikes.
like this......
Charging up to corners too fast will make your sphincter grab the seat (believe me)

Twisted Patience (the trike) is a work in prgress and I reckon always will be, but he overtook me several times on the way to Cornwall!
He can smoke while riding but he has to stop to roll em!

Roy Rogers could roll fags while riding his horse. Bet he couldn't do it on a trike though.
