Paul, what is the lever that is between the passenger footpeg, and the riders floorboard ? is that an e-brake lever ? Did they install a parking brake on the bike for you ?

It's a handbrake Miles. By law we have to have one fitted to a trike in the UK. Handy for those handbrake turns thoughOriginally Posted by Miles

You mean,,, BAT TURNS!!!!
Had a jet boat a long time ago,,, Get it up around 30, let off the gas, crank the wheel full lock, mash the throttle,,,, YEEEEEEEEEEEEhaw!!!! We nick-named it the 'Bat-Turn',,,
Those were the days!

Be careful doing Bat-Turns on a wave runner!!! You might get launched! I had a couple of those over the years and can't say I would have tried it on mine!!!
The boat was a different story,,, It was pretty light,,, One of those low to the water, good for nothing but haulin azz/making noise boats. (18 ft Tahiti, 460 Ford w/open Bassett headers over the stern)
After ya cranked the wheel, nailed it,,, the boat was light enough/shallow enough draft it would roll up on its side, slide/spin around then slide across the water backwards a little bit, dig in, then haul azz back the other way,, All 8 were singing at 5 grand the whole time,,,
Typically, it was: OMG!!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!,,,
Hey,,,,,,,,,,,, that was FUN!!,Can we do it again????
Yep, had a lot of fun in my younger days,,,,
Lights Done
OK that's the lights sorted. One more test ride done too (Looking really dirty now), and one more tomorrow to make final adjustments, and then we wait for the Government paperwork, so who knows how long that will take

Paul, that is the best look to have...that the bike has been ridden. I would rather have a dirty bike, with mileage on it, than a pretty/shiny bike, with no mileage on it. It shows that someone was out having fun.
