    I went down to my local Triumph dealer and stumbled upon this beast.

    Had a chat with the owner he claims there are only 2 in the uk and it was previously used as a taxi.
    His exact words were “It gives a lot of smiles per gallon” I can whole heartedly agree just from looking at it.

    Interesting machine. Must admit if/when I cannot manage two wheels I will definitely look at a trike to extend my riding.

    Google "VW Trike", there's been a few more than two made!

    They were quite a common conversion...

    Just when you think you've seen it all.......... What a funny contraption! It definitely made me smile--and sort of groan--both at the same time.
