Mind you, I would probably pay you money to have a ride on yours
I'm sure the view from the cockpit is much better

Well I like them far more than Terreblance's other creations. I do agree re. the frame. It should be a lightweight bolt-on subframe. The existing frame is a bad thing for racing in terms crash resistance and weight...in the USA they cut the rear off and put a proper subframe on..here in the UK we aren't allowed to do it.

If you're willing to pay then we hould talk - it's an absolute hoot to ride. A bit underpowered against the big 4's but, nonetheless a lot of fun. Corner speed is high.
