Well folks after much deliberation, cogitation and something else I have decided not to trike me bike after all.
I thought about this long and hard and remembered what a total nightmare it is to get out of Seaford in summer on account of the one way road out of town over the bridge and excessive tourists. I really need a two wheeler to make any headway. If I had a trike I would be sitting in traffic for 2 hours every evening wheras with me bike I can just nip through it and be home in no time.
Have decided to keep the bike, will ride it through winter on good days and catch the bus when the weather is really bad. The bus isn't that bad really - I caught the bus all last week just to see how bad it really is and was pleasantly surprised! :)
We'd still like a trike though at some point so might start saving up for a rat trike or sommat. be handy for rallies when we want to take the big tent!

what you need is a Sherman Tank!!

Never again will you have traffic problems of any kind. Parking will be a doddle!!*
Though watch the car when you get home though ducks!! :D

*No apologies whatsoever to Kenny Everett :D

JahWohl! Ve Haff most ov Der Deutcher Fleet at Scapa Flow. Bit wet and Rusty but if you can raise the cash, we can raise the ships! Our ancestors supplied Napoleon and Hitler, the only reason they didn't win was that they renaged on the payments. Another 2 payments and Napoleon would have got Moscow and the rest of Russia as far as the Mongolian border. Tight Bastard, or so my great grandaddy used to say. As for Hitler, he only paid one payment and then declared Ewokandtuck Trading Company as part of the Jewish Conspiracy and refused to pay any more. Is it any wonder he stalled before he even got to Moscow. As for Stalingrad, only one building survived untouched, The Ewokandtuck Vodka Warehouse!!

Easier to drive than tracks alone.The handlebars are attached to the track braking system so you just drive it like a trike!
That is a Kettenkraftrad or kettenkrad as previously mentioned.
