A bike or a trike or what?

[RnB Fan]

Was tootling down Ngauranga Gorge this morning on my daily commute when one of those funny looking three wheeled "bikes" passes me going the other way. Have googled it and I think it was one of those Can-Am Spyders. Just about ran up the back of the car in front staring at it. :shit:

Quite an eye catching machine. Don't know whether it's my sort of vehicle but I imagine it's gotta be a damn site harder to tip over than my two wheels! Anybody ridden one? Was wondering what it would be like. Do you need a motorbike licence?

Just pondering:confused:

Yeah, Big Dave tested one. I think there's some words about it on KB somewhere...

That test is in November Kiwi Rider and review of the new Automatic was dispatched to the ed this morning for the January edition.

Big fan of the vehicles. I reckon they are great fun.

I reckon they look like awesome fun. Would love to see one in the flesh one day. Maybe even take it for a spin.

Are they street legal?

[bungbung]

Yep, legal. TSS have two demos. (if you're in Wellington)

Might have to head out to TSS for a nosey. Haven't been out that way for a while.
