Friendship forever
5 comments:
Exactly a month ago, I made an accident with my car (my fault) and it needs to be repared. If it does not cost to much.
So, I was looking at motorbikes. Not fancy ones you like. More the scooter type. When I talked to my wife she would have none of it. "You will fall", she said.
Perhaps she will change her mind if I show her this video :-)
This is a great bike. Can I have one? lol
Welcome back Baron:)
Now that looks like something I could ride. :)
That machine could make a biker out of me - yum yum!
ummm. hmmm. well, there is a place for this. 3 wheelers such as this, trikes, and sidecars are an option if ones health or physical limitations warrant. personally i will find a trike or sidecar gear when i cant 2 wheel anymore.
but, i disagree with this video's suggestion that this 3 wheeler is a happy medium between a mc and a convertible car. i have a convertible. totally different animal, open compartment vs closed compartment, imho.
ps, great to see you baron :)
