Monster trike, A38 near Stroud, Gloucestershire

Zimbo · 09-11-2014, 08:47 PM

Spotted earlier today heading north on the A38, a red carby shape monster trike, bizarely with no-one on the bike seat, one person sat in the chair obviously controlling the bike from the sidecar, which is a new one on me! Has anyone seen it before?

EDIT - not a trike, it was a monster and sidecar ...

Ripharper has one. Take a look at his avatar.

Actually it wasn't a trike at all, I obviously wasnt thinking when I wrote the title. It was a monster + sidecar.

I have seen it for sale by a relative of the person it was built for. They wanted to sell it complete and not split it, I think the price was around 3K and the mileage was quite low as well. It must get a lot of double takes as it looks like an unmanned bike (as you said).

It certainly made me do a double take! Thanks for the reply, I've not come across it before ...
