Blake, I think you just might see the top of a helmet on the passenger side! How Joanne squeezed down so far is a mystery!

Why do the factory continue to fit short senders? Anyone had an answer? I carry a spare gallon in the back now, just in case I don't fill up in time, it will give me another 30 miles to find a fuel station.
Great to see those photos of the Three Wheelers doing their stuff, thanks for putting them up.

My first car was a 1932 Austin 7*. It had a five-gallon, petrol tank, in front of the scuttle, that fed the carburetter by gravity. There was no fuel gauge; instead there was a rather fine calibrated dipstick. I wish the M3W were so equipped - it may have been crude but you knew how much fuel was left. *No, I did not buy it new.

You can always make your own calibrated stick. I did for the two speeder, but a three and a half gallon tank contents is pretty easy to put in cans and replace with a measuring jug, marking the stick as one goes.

You might need a forked stick with the twin tanks of the new three wheeler!

I expect the fuel tanks on the old 3 Wheelers were similar to that of the Seven - a rectangular box with a screw-cap on top. Alas, things are not so simple with the modern 3 Wheeler... [Edit] You beat me to it, Jays!

Fitted with the sports pipes it sounded awesome - deeper growl and roar.
