Awesome... Post some more.

PS
Why don't we have a trike show in SA :evil: :evil: :evil: where all the locals (and importeds Big G) can display their wares and inform the public that there is more to it than strapping a lawnmower to a deck chair with some duck tape... :evil: :evil: :evil:

Hi Guys. The QuikR you see in the picture is currently going through the long lengthy certification Section S approval. It has passed all the structural tests and now bogged down with the paperwork side.

But is will be available soon for sale in SA. The great thing is the wing can be fitted directly to any GT450 with no mods. Bit of a road runner. But does hands off over 100mph.

Im pretty sure Henk(Straydog) will be the first to own one in SA
