    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.

    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.

    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 ...?

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

    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.
