    Picked this up as I thought it looked cool, was not a fan of the yellow so had it repainted. Now I think it looks really cool. I have a few more ideas to really make it stand out but need to see it in person first. Hopefully they put everything back together correctly...will find out tomorrow when the wife picks it up from the shop.

    If I was driving something small around here the brighter the colour the then the safer it is IMHO... Statistics show that small dark coloured Cars are more at risk of accident than lighter/brighter coloured Cars. But it does look better in the new colour mate! :wink:

    I'm thinking some LED lighting will brighten things up a bit.

    I have a lot of LED if you are interested. I did some lighting in Cebu on motorbikes and still have some. I live in Bacong. PM me is you like.

    Are these Bajaj trikes a good vehicle and are they also reliable?

    pro: seems a good city vehicle, sitting (mostly) dry, small turning circle, somewhat easier parking than a car.
    cons: small wheels (not good for potholes), underpowered/heavy (200cc/350 kg), so it's slow. Not sure if it has a reverse gear, would expect none (so the parking might be not so easy whenever you need to back up)

    If I drove this thing to a "cool" convention for credentials, I would be sure to have at least a bat under the seat. I would be afraid I might get my @ss kicked.

    Fortunately I'm not worried about any cool credentials...especially not in Tanjay.
