Thats him. I have not seen him in ages but he has his own style. People know him for his bike building but a lot of people don't know that he is a better guitarist than a lot of well known guitarists. Like I say, I have not seen him a long time but even the mention of his name brings a smile to my face. I should try to catch up with him to see what he is up too. :D

I think I was there when this photoshoot was done. Robbie told me I could have a ride on this bike, so I rode up the cul de sac at the side of his house. And walked back down the road. "Where's my bike?" :D :D I told him I could not turn it around and that is why I walked back. Top bloke.

Advert reads....
Goricke Bromcarrier.
98cc Sachs Two Stroke engine
3 wheeler trike.
Comes with V5 log book.
German tradesman’s tricycle.
Last run about 4 years ago, running when parked, needs recommissioning.
Road legal to ride without a helmet, as it’s classes as a tricycle.
Has been driven down the road and back - it's quite scary...
Riding this thing at anything above 20mph requires balls of steel.
Drum brakes all round, that sort of work randomly in no particular order, therefore under braking it has a mind of its own.
3 speed gearbox, 2 stroke pre-mix fuel.
Will fit in a Transit van, we can help with delivery.
:D :D :D :D :D

I'm tempted... just the thing for popping into town.... :D

If I was ever to have a collection it would be bikes I could jump on and ride, however infrequently.

You might as well take a picture of it and hang that on your wall.
Its a decent way of parking money tbh.

Looks like a mutt, AJS and all the others. That said, my daughter had a mutt 125 before she completed the direct access and it was a cracking little bike.
