Do I spy a trike in the background? It would go well with my 1990 Harley Heritage softail and my 1989 1500 Goldwing

M - how can you forget the brilliant MZ?!
And Q - yes - the Quasar. Reliant robin engine, shaft drive, reclined feet-forward riding position, roof and windscreen wipers. I test-drove one in the early 80s - handled superbly, albeit a bit down on power. Unfortunately it was designed for a rider of 5'8" - the designer told me he'd got the stats from somewhere, so designed it for a 5'8" rider and 5'5" pillion. At 6ft, there was virtually no way to hold it up when stationary, as the roof meant you had to lean out sideways from a reclining position.........................

Carver
I've no bikes now, sold the last in 2001 to fund a canoeing trip. Every summer I think about the M21 my brother-in-law has rusting in a shed which would be nice to thump around our country lanes.
