Good stuff. I still can't believe the Reliant Robin was allowed on the road. Any 3 wheeler with 2 in the back is just asking for it IMO.

How long were you out of work?
In 2014 I was teaching (part time) at the local community college. Haven't worked full time in about 30 years (I'm allergic to it).
I was in hospital for four months as a result of the Sportster incident.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

It's only the likes of unfunny twats like Clarkson seem to have a problem with them. He had to work hard to make one tilt over - is that what you're referring to? I recall he had the car heavily weighted to one side.---- Dave

Yeah and clarksons an oaf.1983 GS 550 LD

Eh I can take or leave Clarkson, he's worn out his schtick and of course I knew it was staged to make it look worse. Still had some funny moments, taken in small doses I got a chuckle. And it seems that layout is a bit sketchy, I wouldn't want to take evasive measures at speed in one. I drove flat out dangerous cars most of my life without incident but chalk a fair bit up to dumb luck, the other to skill driving.

I guess I should say you WON'T ride and WON'T work. Sounds like a great life. Enjoy fishing
