I bought the Honda at top left.If I had it now I would be able to fix all the things that were wrong when I picked it up but back then I thought that if it looked cool that was enough.I sold it to a bloke in Bendigo and not long after that I heard that the frame had broken in half.That was 25 years ago.I'm building a GS1000 bobber but I can't post any photos because I'm not very good on a computer.I really enjoy the site.

The sidecar in the back ground ... was that the one in the first Mad Max movie ?
It looks very similar.

wow ol - how sharp is your eye ? ! well spotted , i am a mad keen mad max fan and i didnt spot it .....
i clicked on my mad max resource site and bamm , there it is.....
and its still going and in Australia according to the website ....

quote - "Cyclotron - The trike was originally constructed by Lance Seadon of Cycle Gear in Collingwood. The scrolling on the body was done in 24ct gold leaf by John Leach - Lance and John were both members of the Barbarians Motorcycle Club at the time. Features of the trike included a tube running from the dome to the rider, so that you could enjoy a smoke... "
"And the good news is... the trike still lives! The trike is still in Australia, and the pictures below were taken by Scott Page at the Street Machine Mad Max / Mad Max 2 screening in Blacktown in late 2001."

heres a link to the website with the pictures and some info

i was looking over those photos again, and i noticed, the original bike had girder forks, and the newer pics show it with springer forks and an added headlight ( maybe for legal road rego ).
But an awesome machine none the less.

I spoke to a guy some years ago who was one of the first to ride the bike... and reckoned it was awful. Don't know if the changed the geometry later.
