I figure that quilted upholstery will "sag" less when it's well weathered and farted on. I'm not sure about if I prefer the fart-patina or something more taut like the quilted stuff.
Edit: taught->taut I just spit out what I was drinking while reading your message, I was not expecting that. Thank goodness it wasnt coffee or tea this time...

Nickel plate  So much more appropriate than chrome.

Edit: taught->taut  Maybe they should use this in the sale pitch.

Is the engine black (somewhat) too? You exhausts look nickel in the picture too.
I've not opted for the chrome pack so its a combination of shiny and dark bits
On mine (when it's possible) I'll have black exhausts with black exhaust wraps to fit the matt paint and give it sort of a rugged look.
Mine should be black and I'm planing to wrap them with a red exhaust wrap.
Edit: What will be red besides the leather? Front fenders (or what they're called in British English)?
You'll have to wait for that I'm afraid

Hehe, great, I hope you'll take plenty of pictures on the way - including the aftermath in your garage  I'm already thinking what I can do myself - such as a nice mirror, black 2-into-1 air intake with, say, red foam filters, homemade leather straps for an umbrella in the passenger footwell for those stoplight stops in the rain. Also, I have found this: Bottle cage 1 Or this: Bottle cage 2 I think it's doable for me to do something similar. Al I'd need is some thick leather and some fluid used for stiffening knife sheeves, and a bit of imagination, and one could make a nice one for my favorite bottle - even a detacheable one. Got to love leather

My Threewheeler was registered yesterday, no issues. Pick-up is now planned for 17th February 2012, subject to salt on the roads or other adverse UK weather!  If the prognosis is bad, I'll have it delivered...

Sweet, Aeroman. Would that now be changed to "Missing a wheel-man"? Hehe, congrats. I'm slightly envious I actually have a question for you lot who has gone through test drives and/or have already received your fine specimen. In those, let's call them "naked" pics, there's a room behind the back rest as well as quite some distance between the seat top and floor. Is the room under the seats in any way useable or is it closed off, needing tools to get at? How about the small room behind the back rest (not the luggage department)? It seems an ideal place to store a jacket etc., but of course not if access to it is by way of unscrewing bolts. Also, with a pair of bolted-on leather handles perpendicular to the centerline on the bonnet, would it be possible to lift it off single handedly or is it a two-man job without a question? Oh, and a final thing I've been thinking about, with the low windshields (I'm definately not going to get the high ones), do you think it would help if one found some curved see-through plastic (curved in profile) to glue to the front (at the top edge) of the windshield to deflect a little more wind? Sort of like a mini ski hop for the wind? Feasable?
