Default Death trap motorbike add on Ebay

I'm not sure what this guys on, but an interesting read. If you want more he is also selling some storage boxes that would be great for storing bodies.
Here is the link -

Aha I came to grief on one of these which had a small trailor attachment.. It has 300 kg of onions on the trailor.. Going down hill I couldn't steer the thing and went straight through a 4 wire fence..
I was only going walking speed too.. They are soooo dangerous its NOT funny...

I have plates and screws in my arm from my MX bike I currently race a Kart and my S/P I have had 1 ride on my brothers 250 trike and have to agree they will kill you. The USA banned them too many yanks breaking their necks and they are really crazy over there. Definately not for the kids.

I loved the answer to the question, Do you think you could add the fourth wheel?

Yes i agree they are very dangerous. The best thing i have ever see done to these is to make them into a two wheeler. This is something i would like to try.

Magic ad, and all true.
I stacked an ATC 90 into a barbed wire fence as a kid.
Very dodgy machines.
