a way to get advertising done and have fun.



I found the trike interesting after I spotted a front mounted vw engine from finland. it was out there as trikes are.. but way too real for even me to throw hate at. Could not possibly get any lower cg with four cyls.. I assume they weren't much thinking about that with a simple idea.
a difference hangs on sometimes...for no real reason from the beginning.

Yeah it's genuinely interesting.... that doesn't mean I want it....but again.... I want this guy to own it and maintain it so I can look at it...

And frankly I'm not sure It will be better restored.... I kind of dig it as is...
