Thanks for taking the time to write that Brian. I would always rather read an owners report rather than a journo who may have a different agenda. Interesting comment on the wheel. When I tried my dealers demo, I wondered why they had bothered to make it removable, there is so much space underneath it. Odd.

Brian - thanks for the write up.
On the topic of mirrors, I suggest you try a stationary lash up! While the new trike is wider so this may not apply, the rear visibility with a central mirror on a vintage trike is appalling, most of the mirror gets filled with your passenger's shoulders. You might get over that with a taller mirror, but as you extent the stalk, vibration might rear it's head.

Great, inspiring!! With such a low seating position I think a central mirror could be very useful (especially when driving a bit inspired  ). It does not need to be that big (when positioned so close to drivers eyes) but preferably a bit convex. Try a good quality tape then the test is reversible. I once had a Mini Marcos (which I enjoyed very much) and used a very stylish dash mounted chrome central mirror, but when extra visibility was needed (rush hour through Stockholm, Gothenburg  ) I used a wide-angle clip-on mirror (very, very ugly) but for sure extremely useful (RHD car in Swedish traffic). Rear view cameras has also started to be a worth its price...

Rear view camera could be a very good idea, when I get my car, I will definitely consider one. MMC wouldn't have left a central mirror off by mistake, so we can presume there is a good reason, maybe as Martyn said all that can be seen would be a couple of large shoulders?
We'll have to wait for Brians take on things.
