Looking at the aerodynamics, I guess that thing could actually be quite fast too.

Not my cup of tea though.

did they not try this with the European city scooters some years ago?

I had a look in my garage this morning, My poor bike just helplessly looking back at me knowing its not time to go out yet... Like a dog missing its morning walk.. :(

Sitting in 2 hours of traffic yesterday from Dyce to Newmachar there was about 10 hardy biking souls making their way through the debris, pedestrians walking down the middle of the road and idiot car drivers blocking the road after being flashed out.

I bet they would have given Mr Goretex a big smile and bought him a beer last night! :cheers

Never seen it switch from heavy rain to heavy snow with no break in between.

Either way I don't think I would be on two wheels unless it was unavoidable.

Even the 4*4 hasn't moved since Hogmanay :cool
