Trike trailer/Aquilla wheel spacing.
Hi Guys,
I am looking at getting a 2 bike-trailer for a biking adventure, but it should also be able to take a trike. My question is this, does anyone know how far the Aquilla rear wheels are apart, from outside to outside? In other words how wide should the load area be to accommodate a trike?

Re: Thunderbird mk iv vs mk ii
Dis nice om te hoor van mense wat weet. Wat is die cruise spoed? Hoe klim hy met n' 582 in gauteng op MAUW? My vriend wou een koop met n' 618, en hy is redelik skraal, met die toets vlug kon hulle nie mooi die bome aan die einde van die runway oor kom nie.

Re: Thunderbird mk iv vs mk ii
When you get the info please report back here... I am also interested in knowing. When asking around about a thunderbird the first thing that is said is "drag-bucket". But that does not say anything, what is the glide ratio? The thunderbird looks a lot like the bantam to me, from the pictures anyway...

Insurance - Disability benefit?
I recently took out a new insurance policy, and found to my surprise that because I do " microlighting" any disability that arises as a consequence of this sport is excluded from monthly income protectors. Short of having an expensive policy that pays out a lump sum in the event of disability, I am ...
