KeymasterActually, I think the tank would look better in the garage.
Monstrous horse power, but I can’t see the trike going above 10MPH somehow. Wouldn’t fancy touring on it (especially Poland….ahem) but I bet it sounds great.

ModeratorYou can get T55s in fully working order for about £5k now. About the same as a Suzuki Bandit, but the Suzuli would stand a better chance against a Challenger 2 MBT!
