Good Grief
I had forgotten about that three wheeled afterbirth milk crate Flem of a machine those brummies made in the 70s. Good god no wonder they went bust.
But dont let me put any potential Cedrics off the deal

I got to do a demo ride on one of these at the Barbon hillclimb in yorkshire, BSA showed up with a fleet of em. Was expecting something a little different when they said AIRIEL 3. there were a few of us dressed in full leathers trying to get one over 20mph.

They are real easy to get over 20mph . Kick em of a cliff.

What do you mean Gord,"What could go wrong". Heres what, Joe Lucas and a frame that bends in the middle, oh and did I mention Joe Lucas, and no spares, and a bendy freakin frame. What a plonker bike that was.But dont let my biased view dissuade you from buying it Gord, I know you live by the mantra of , "happiness is a three wheeled drift. BUT not in this case my friend, not in this case

Steve. I had a Royal Enfield moped,,49 cc's that would do 100 k down the hill by my place,it even had usd forks (about the size of your pinky), i drove it into Guelph for about a month,cost $4.11 and it was fun in about 1992. After my N15 Norton and A G15 Matchless moneypit I will never buy a British bike again,
