A bike post!

That's not a motorcycle, it's a two-wheeled car.

 

Parents are neg. Fortunately, I've got a perfectly serviceable enclosed
motorcycle to get me around.

I er... might do.

 

Don't worry, he hasn't really, he still replies to my posts, he can't
bear the thought people might be talking about him.

 

I saw one of these parked up the road from our house at the weekend

Not quite on topic (well it is for here) but I think my KR200 shares
more with a FF motorcycle than it does with a car in that it has a 4
speed sequential gearbox, you ride tandem, it's powered by a 200cc
air-cooled 2/ engine, has handlebars and it's very easy to chuck down
the road. [1]

Would I like a two wheeler version? I think I would, but like others
probably not to replace a traditional motorcycle (no scooter, quad nor
combo would do that either) but to have as an alternative. [2]

I guess the point of the fully enclosed 2 wheelers is that you don't
have to bother with all the dressing up (which is a pain for short
journeys or when you want ordinary clothes at the end) whist still
being able to easily overtake / filter and the 'feel' of a motorbike.

[1] A mate had 2 Schmitts and he lent one to a mutual mate of ours
while his tuned Escort Van was off the road. He rolled it within the
week.

[2] Am I the only one who has been riding about on a bike a bit then
got in the car and still had the urge to try to filter ...?

 

can't see it filtering, anyhoo.

 

only if it looked like this:

Oh, no, you aren't, not by a long chalk. <Cough>

and Xybots as well, Major Rock Hardy and Captain Ace Gunn. Classic

 

It's worse when you're on a bike and forget you've got a fucking
sidecar fitted.

 

Especially on autobahns.

 

That's why I fitted a mirror on the sidecar. It's always useful to be
able to see the hun launching a sneak attack from behind...

 

I reckon a 4.6 injected and tuned automatic TR7 will be fun. For about 3
seconds before it climbs the nearest tree obviously.

I reckon it will be great. I'm still wondering if a supercharger would
be over egging the pudding at all.

 

Yes indeed.

Backwards, I suspect.
