Title: Tracer MkIII
Post by: Rusty Chrome (Malcolm Parker) on January 09, 2016, 07:30:29 PM
This one's new to me, looks like it's based on a Honda CX500.

I was aware of this and it has appeared somewhere with some film. It was never really said if the project was finished, or met expectation as I liked the look of this a lot.

It looks stunning, I love it!
What it would be like for regular journeys might be a problem, it might be pretty cramped in there, especially for the rear passenger, but it's nicely made

Yes I was discussing the rear seat room with my partner. Getting in and out with what looks like a relatively high sill might be an exercise in gymnastics for the passenger!

Passingers? Stuff them. If they do not like it, then they best go buy their own transport solution. There speaks a keen Tandem trike owner who is happily unmarried, or whatever complication is the new phrase to cover camp followers!!!

I am not sure. You should be able to litmus test or something, but I think its banned now unless your into earring/piercing codes. One is to many for me, which make life really simple. Do not mind having passingers on the Pod. They have to sit outside, where the layabout belong. Bar humbug.
