Glad the old POS found a home. Only 4000 miles put on it since 2005 though.

Aaah the Charnwood Meteor, a chair that even my wife likes :D
Hell of a lot of outfit for some lucky buyer though...

I didn't know you were disabled, I thought it was just the way you walked. ;D ;D ;D

You aren't fond of the outfit, but I can't remember why Andy, it seemed to fair belt along to the Elefant 2002.

41 mpg, electrics that made it cut out with no warning, six points because it ran like a bag of spanners below 45 mph, a sidecar body that could do passenger or luggage but not both, front suspension/tyre that made it do bar to bar tank slappers, steering loads that required serious upper body strength.....
Basically you'd ride it at 90 mph to get it over with :(
My disability (no offence to any one who really is disabled) is that once I get an idea it usually costs a lot. It's mental!
I'm glad it was converted to let someone ride who otherwise couldn't. Makes what I lost on the links etc. seem a little more worthwile than teaching me to KISS.

Interesting, I've never ridden a fat-tyre outfit, but I hear they can be a pain at lower speeds.
I do remember your big fat car tyres being a nightmare on snow.
