My mate brought this down the pub yesterday and said I should try it.

I'm a bit nervous.

GOOWAAAAN!

Assumming it's a B33 - I learnt to ride on one of those without the
side appendage. It used to hinge very nicely in the middle.

For the sake of hygiene, please either tuck yer trousers in your boots
or borrow a pair of bicycle clips.

The last thing of his I rode was an A65 Lightning. The gears were on
the right [correct] side of the bike, the brakes were piss poor and it
shat oil everywhere.

I loved it

The outfit, on the other hand is a different matter.

Work of the Devil himself. Burn it. Burn it *Now*, and thus save you mortal
soul (1) and subsequent broken limbs, misc damage to parked vehicles, third
party liabilites etc.)
If you're going to do 3 wheels, symmetry is all. Having done a year and a
half with a pretty well setup outfit, it would still surprise me to the
point of having to pull over and gibber for a while. Outfits are *truly*
scary things.

(1) Oh it's Cane. As you were....

Your obsession with my essential unctions is flattering, if unsavoury. It's
a nice-looking outfit, but I'd venture it doesn't have a reverse gear.

We should meet up for a tutorial on the Ural. Then you can chuck your
mate's outfit around with homoerotic abandon, hand it back to him and say
"Yeah, not bad" as if you've been riding outfits for decades.

Nonsense. Can Dave Swindell do this?

And yet they're about the cheapest vehicle to insure. Crazy.

I would *love* another outfit. When I had the Jawa: this one:-

I learned how to negotiate the speed chicanes in sunny Morden's back
streets on the throttle alone.

"Here comes one, so keep it wound on... throttle off NOW!... Bang open
the throttle NOW.... Yippee!"

No. If he gets that close to a chain he'll implode.

Not a bit of it. Safe, relaxing to drive, not terribly fast.

You need to take an updated version of that photo.

System works great. We moved a heavy Stanley Cast iron range from the
vehicle all the way into the kitchen using several cut up spade
handles as rollers.

Over a gravel drive?

Planks down, rollers between mill and planks - and a winch, I think.
