Kept cosily wrapped in a blanket, in an insulated barn, the GW only comes out on sunny days.
Only it's third outing this year.  A quick run to the local engineering suppliers for a few nuts and bolts.

Mrs.B loves trikes. She always wanted a motorbike. Her dad was a motorcycle scrambler.

Brilliant shot Mr. B.    I have a 2002 vintage Harley Davidson Road King that I take out of storage for an occasional ride.  I do like that Gold Wing trike though.

I got her an excursion around Rutland on one for her birthday a year or two back.
Around Rutland area it's very beautiful.   She loved it. My younger daughter went with her.

As you've probably guessed, it's not mine. Just a chance encounter.  Mrs'B  is green with envy as she loves them.  I've never ridden a motor bike in my life - even as a pillion passenger.

That's a super nice trike.  My Road King is an old classic but I probably should have sold it years back as I just don't ride it enough anymore to hang onto it.

I came across the owner outside the local ironmongers shop.
When I mentioned during our chat that Mrs.B was a fan of Trikes, she suggested I sat on it for a photo to make Mrs.B envious.  (and she was)

I used to work with someone who owned a red one.    He was a strange fella.

The lady who owns this one could be described as a character
Both Mrs.B and my younger daughter are bike enthusiasts.
Father-in-Law's gene is suspect - he was a motorcycle scrambler.

I think you need to be to drive one of them.    Not my cup of tea after the one and only time I road a bike I also crashed it into a pub wall.

Not an experience designed to make a biker out of you.
I've never had any inclination to get one.

I was at college and one of the other students from SA had one and they all wanted me to try it,  of course   completely in an inappropriate place.      I turned the bars to come back to find it had the turning circle of an oil tanker.

Turning is about leaning, I'm told. Same as a push-bike.

I haven't looked into that. The trike trip was chauffeur driven, for Mrs'B and our daughter.
Much bigger than the one you see here.
It's not something I would consider owning or driving - but they love it
