On Prime 7/2 at 12:30 tonight (Monday Morning) The Leyland Brothers will be crossing the Simpson Desert on Trikes (probably Honda 90s).. This would have been in the 70s .. Might be an interesting watch if you are a Night owl...
be great if someone could record it and post it up....

Of course the worst thing about waiting up for this, is having to endure "baywatch"....

Those soft tyre 90s did a great job.... did the whole trek with little or not trouble..

I have an original blue 90 the same model they used in that show. It will go anywhere in the sand that the new quads go only a LOT slower. They even float on water with a rider aboard.

In the trailer for "Diamonds are Forever", at around 2:53 is a shot of some 90s chasing Bond in his "moon buggy" in the desert....

Wife recorded it for me and just finished watching it. I'm sore after riding for hours on a quad with suspension, couldn't imagine doing it on a trike that doesn't.
