I saw one of these on the road a few days ago

I've never really been into motorcycles as I am not a very balanced person. I was always hurting myself on my bicycle when I was younger so I decided it would behoove me to stay off motorcycles. Then I saw this.

I want one. Even my clumsy ass might be able to drive it.

Oddly, I saw one of those a few days ago as well... but here in Spain...

I bet the Freemasons have something to do with this.

I reckon Def has one and has us all under surveillance with it... I bet it floats and does 3000km/h too...

I must admit I like that it's a motor bike for people like me clumsy unco-ordinated wrecks  :D

They are all over the place here (well not all over but see them quite often). Kinda weird, seems riding it would be nothing like a motorcycle, more like a convertable car.

that is sweet! I like ;)

a friend just got a dirt bike, broke his wrist a week after when he hit a hidden trench
(going slow and being careful!), that looks way safer!

I like it... somewhat.....but it's kinda goofy looking. Give me a nice 2-wheel Harley any day.

That's the kind of trike you expect Batman to be zipping around in :think:
"Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall;
 Some run from breaks of ice, and answer none:
 And some condemned for a fault alone." -William Shakespeare, King Lear (1608), Act IV, scene 6, line 169

I saw one of those too in my hometown at the local grocery store.  They look pretty cool!

We have a couple around town.  They look like a snowmobile coming down the road.

I wonder are they prone to rolling over if you go too fast around a corner ? :think:

Doubt it, it's the outside front wheel takes the most dive during high speed turn and it's got two wheels upfront so should handle like a car.
