8) Yeah good call that.

I think that a small un to pull behind one of those Quasar motorcycles on his site would turn a few heads!

Oh I meant to ask Andrew, can you get by with a single person teardrop, or do you need to allow for a wife and two kids?

The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

I think I'm with a few others on this site - a 4ft width would fit me on my own nicely!

Towing anything behind a Quasar might be too dangerous. The recommendation to other bikers is never follow one closely, as car drivers are inclined to stare at it, say "Waddaheckizzat?" and pull out behind it without looking to see if anything else is coming!

Car drivers are sweet things, but not big on brains.....

It's off topic, but I'm curious.

Is that jeep (in the avitar) something you folks have many of over there?

thanks

8) Yeah - its a Jago Geep kit car using old Ford bits.

Have a look at my website. About two thousand were built between 1971 & approx 1997. We have about eighty in the owners club although many more are still on the road judging by what appears on Ebay every week.
