Nope, it's a bike. Two wheels close together (it's either max 300 or 400mm, can't remember) are legally treated as one wheel.

I know someone who has a similar thing but it's a BMW with a roof, wiper and two wheels and can be legally ridden with no helmet allegedly.

Stirling Moss has one of those that he uses every day.

Those are not cool, much safer with a proper motorbike and helmet. Scooters (covered or not) are not cool!

my dad has one of those. only in europe can it be ridden without a lid. the UK government wont class the bike as a helmet, despite it having 4 point seat belts and a crumple zone front end...

Stirling Moss is also 103 years old, or thereabouts.

v8kid - 18/3/10 at 02:13 PM

Yup the old git himself! Allegedly he slipstreams london busses to get an aerodynamic tow - with a death wish like that how come he is so old

tomprescott - 18/3/10 at 03:18 PM

He's indestructible, when he fell down that lift he only broke his ankles, a three floor fall could kill lots of people, let alone a man of his age!

I was looking at it and couldnt work out what was wrong but then i realised....

Hot Pink. Hmmmmmmmm!!!!! Nice...

and when the police catch him do they say?
"who do you think you are, Jenson Button?"

although i guess the reply,
"no officer, i've never won a world championship" isn't that pithy (and a blooming great shame too - got his autobiography to read on holiday and really looking forward to it).

I wonder if this is possibly the biggest disparity in value of vehicle vs value of number plate ever?
