Not a trike, it has had the Wedge Tail stabiliser kit fitted

Come on guys!  It's pretty good buying at that price, with the towbar and all.  The kays are fair and it looks pretty clean.
The description is very thorough for a dealer.  Most have no idea what they're selling, or are too lazy to research it.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

The dealer thinks it is an 'inline 4'.   :crackup

Agreed Biggles,it's a good price for what's being offered.
I'm guessing the wedge tail units are an extremely small niche market.
The advertising spin is leaning more towards the towing/touring angle more than the stabilisation aspects.
Either way it's a curious bit of kit, but if it get's someone on a bike it can only be a good thing   :grin

I saw one of these on a Triumph at one of the charity rides a couple years ago and the guy said it takes about 10 minutes to remove and attach.

and what's the go with the panniers - How in Gods name do you get into them and the mirrors .........
I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.
