Hi everyone, i picked up my first trike last week :D. some of you may know it Honda VT500 black with red seat, i think drill666 was selling it on here a while back for a fraction of the price i paid for it on eBay! Was really nice to meet you HELL BOY but im glad my puppy pissed in your garage after seeing what you paid for it! lol

Thought i would pop in and say hello to everyone, my madden voyage is on Tuesday when i take it down for its MOT eeek! iv never ridden a trike before..... wish me luck!
