those little tricycles, the ones with no brakes and pedals on the front wheel....

a Reliant Robin... There's a Top Gear programme where Clarkson has a Robin fitted with outriders to stop it toppling over on corners!

In the current season, yes, I've seen it.
2 outriders + 3 wheels = a "pentawheelers"....

Did you have stabilisers? ( Idid and made several unsucessful attempts to take 'em off but kept getting caught by the irate parents!  ) G On the tricycle? No.  But thinking about H3's comment - it had the same configuration as a Robin - two wheels at the rear - wrong way around... Caused me some pain that thing - dark blue it was, with scrape marks from whenever I turned it over  Cheers,

BTW I mentioned on photos that the Roadster Sport have smaller side screens (less covering on the lower part of the door), are all the Trads like this now?

Looks like that might be the case. Here is a view of a new +4. http://www.rpm-morgan.co.uk/product.php?view=detail&item=36.They seem to be cut straighter between the two mounting points Andy

I am sure they would say it is a design/styling improvement. Not sure myself. Straight lines do not fit so well with curves
