2 Wheels in front 1 in rear

seeing a lot on the road
from a distance
Who makes them?

any comments

 

Morgan.

 

hah. If you wanted to be helpful though, "Piaggio and Gilera" is the
right answer, I suspect.

 

Yebbut, since when are we doing helpful around here?

 

It's like you giving sound mechanical advice.

 

Messerschmitt KR200?

Coronets made in the ?50s/60s?. 350 cc air cooled twins with the
engine in the back, unreliable as **** but great fun. With a squint
and a bad pair of specs the front end looked a bit like the front of
an E Type, at least that's what I used to tell myself.

A lot of those on the roads, are there?

 

Piaggio MP3

 

They do a bigger, uglier one now too:

That is one seriously ugly machine. It looks like Darth Vader had his
head put through a garlic press.

I quite like it

Me too, & if I was going to do one of those snow-bound rallies, I
reckon that'd be the ideal tool, especially if you ratted it up a bit.

 

Fucking good fun tho!

 

I wonder how it would do soft-roading/on snow with some semi-knobblies
on it.

 

still not it

wider wheel base & bigger tires

On the plus side, it's less likely to fall over. On the other hand, it
will sink up to the axles. Bonus: you can then use it as a ground anchor
for your other vehicle. But then you have to have another vehicle.

Tough call....
