When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

That would have been cozy on my ride yesterday. 28 degrees. Doesn't solve the ice problem though, dammit.

Look at the video at the 2:42 mark.  Do you see what I do?  Is that rear wheel deflecting with a corner load?
I wonder if those motorcycle wheels are designed for those lateral loads. Hmmm. 

I'd like to see a video of that vehicle on a 2 lane highway, with a 18 wheeler coming from the other direction.... I wonder how it handles the wind gust.   Pat

Pat,

I think that is the front wheel at mark 2:42.  Note the dual rotors.  Cool machine non the less, but you would not see me in one of them.  Kinda defeats the reason that I ride.

Oh yea, right you are Craig. The wheel deflection is just the steering input.....ok, carry on.
I agree with Craig, I still would not own one. Rain? What rain? That's why I live in the desert.

I wonder if it comes with a/c?
