If you are thinking three wheels you may want to have a look! http://hight3ch.com/post/piaggio-mp3-scooter/

Thanks mate!

Fifth Gear is good show, though I prefer Top Gear. Shame we get neither here in the States. I need to fire up BitTorrent and find that full episode. I wonder what the hosts think of the MP3. I know the blonde female presenter is a keen motorcyclist; she's reviewed Ducatis in previous episodes.

The MP3 is awesome technology -- but I still say it's "Dog ugly". Especially when you see it running that speed track right after the GT -- no comparison in looks, I'll take the GT any day! -Dan

I still do not care for it and I still think it is ugly too. I really want to like it but it isn't working. I do think from a technology standpoint they have a great new product.

"Neal has a tricycle" I would never live it down. .

Look at the board on the GTS run. He set his time there on Lap 1. But the board has an MP3 time already posted, 1:02.79 on lap 7. Maybe he ran the MP3 first and then the GTS, but they just edited it. Or maybe someone else had a go first. He does look like he could get a bit more out of both.
