    I paid $3.90 a gallon for 89 octane this weekend at the beach. And it's not even "the season" yet.

    Even still, CR makes a good point. At least we don't have to buy our "petrol" in the UK.

    True but when you offset the cost of the euro to the dollar its only 5.9 euro

    Interesting rig, I'm going to have to look into those, for curiosity if nothing else.

    I already have a Yamaha TW200 that would serve around town...really got it for riding in the woods up at the lake cabin, but it is street legal and will get 70 mpg.

    CeCe's got one too, now

    Depends on whether he was pre-translating the cost to USD or simply stating it in pounds. He did use the "$" symbol so it might truly be $8.50 USD.

    lol, the cost of a litre of fuel here is £1.35 . Our gallon's are bigger than yours, so i calculated the cost in pounds of a US gallon and then converted it at www.xe.com

    Why do you think i use this most days!!

    Cute 3-wheeler Crotch. Since you made it a WWII U.S. Army version with the white Star, you should finish it out with some fictious white "registration numbers". Just look at some vintage pictures of WWII trikes for some ideas and proper placement.

    Your trike would also look great as a WWII German Army version with a Maltese Cross, much like the one in the movie "The Great Escape" starring Steve McQueen. Or you could go all the way with the Nazi Swasticker and SS Stormtrooper emblems. However, the Nazi-SS version may not sit well within such a refined society as we have today. Although, L-Dub could probably get away with it in Siberia USA (aka North Dakota).
