Now there is a real Basket Case though I'd like to see that seat a lot lower to keep your C of G down and cut the wing resistance.

just because you like to lay down on the job Nik, I have a personal prefference to sit up like these people. It also help a lot with my skeletal disability. To loose some preformance by doing this is better for some people, than to loose all interest and do nothing simply because they do not meet others herd expectations.

Ooops! Now I guess I just been told..
I can not help it if I'm a lazy sod but for a laying down sport, it can't get any more vigorous or drawn out. So what is your Back problem? if you don't mind talking about it. It is just that when one sees people with Large Health Issues one doesn't expect to see them out in some Salt Pan cruising on a Land Yacht. Having said that I am aware of the Assistance Group, over in the West, that is trying to assist Disabled people to have a go at their aspirations.. And Why Not? Good, Bloody, Luck to you. Keep on keeping on

Ian that is a good Idea.. I ain't knocking the Muzza but I reckon that it takes all sorts and wishes to create a machine that suits your purposes.For instance mine doesn't meet many criteria for competition but it gives me the fun I require and In the End it is all about what we want to achieve and F>U>N!!.

Spoken like Spoiled Child true Ungrowed Up .

gonna cut the axle mount brackets off on blue line and weld them on

further to the rear so my wheel base will be for a 4 wheeler around

2.600 mtrs about 8'6". If I take the 3 wheel option the add about another

1.0 mtr or 3+feet. the steel axle is 0.80 inside the brackets, overall it is

0.896 end to end. It could be about 200 longger to allow wheel axle

mating. currently runs a 32mm od pipe, could go up to 40 maybe 50mm

OK! TP1,
Lets keep this fairly confined. I enjoy pointing crap at any and all, it's all in fun but there are one or two that seem to get their Knackers in a Twist when we bounce off of each other across the pages. Me? I just feel that it keeps life interesting for all and sundry. In reality we aren't Hijacking anyone's pages--------Just the whole of Land Yacht Sailing. A bit like playing Tag and you never know where we're gonna turn up
