If I had an extra $80.000 I would open up a parts house for R*'s. It would be small to start, but I'd hope it would grow. And of course I'd give discounts to all the clinic guy's.

Re:Revolutionary New Motorcycle 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
Two things I notice,
1. they are not wearing any helmets and I don't know if there is room for helmets.
2. They had seat belts on, at least the driver did, in a pick I saw what looked like a shoulder strap.
Any kind of wreck is going to be very bad, could you imagine going down and being attached to your bike, I could not and have gone down before.
There will be much debate before this is allowed in the U.S.
Notice when the wheels are in the up position, this could bring a new concept to knee dragging, imagine if this could lean over far enough to where the training wheels were touching in a turn.

Regarding the seat belt.... This one, the BMW C1 has one too.

WOW that's an old video - Jeremy Clarkson looks young there! So my question - do you ride it or drive it?

Strange, but cool. Although not my idea of what motorcycling is all about. I wonder if cagers might get mad for losing their identity!!!

Re:Revolutionary New Motorcycle 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
The future of the MCs! hahaha. Something not all that intimidating about that. And imagine being the passenger? I mean, riding b***h is one thing, but in that? I wonder how fast the wheels react, if you were to rear-end someone if they'd come down in time to hold the "bike" up. But still, a neat concept. Then again, on the flip side, I'm not really a fan of making riding "something for everyone." I think it should be for the few who truly appreciate it.
