Front wheel looks like its on some sort of steering mechanism to me in one of the pictures, would be fun no doubt - still would rather a KX250.

You never seen a wheel man dude? Take a look at this link http://www.wheelman.com.au/ I think they're Australian and they're a hell of a lot of fun to try and ride, you steer them like a skateboard. Fell off heaps at first but after a while got the hang of it. Theres a video of how to ride one on the site.

If your in Wellington at any stage I can actually show it to you if you want? I dont own it but my mate does

They are pretty fun. I tried one in CHCH once and almost eneded up dead. Never again.......

Oh, I see they are much smaller than I thought. The picture on Tardme was deceptive, I thought they were much bigger, like the size of a bike.

Hm, based on the quoted figures from that link (thanks) , I think they could fall under the "mobility device, powered scaketboard etc" dispensation in the new licensing rules.

So I wonder how long before we see these on the roads.

That's because the speedo on your bike only reads as high as 99km/hr and then clocks over :corn:

I refuse to deny nor confirm any comment on my comment about Bend-its comment on my speed
