That's pretty cool. I have seen these around from time to time, but even over here they are still a bit of a novelty I think. I've never been on a bike before. I think it might be fun, but I'm probably a bit too much of a chicken. Especially these days when people drive so crazy and don't pay attention to what they are doing!

I have ridden scooters around before but I have never owned a full on 2 wheeled motorcycle. They kind of freak me out a little. But this 3 wheeled one felt more like a car hybrid. It felt much safer on the road even though you are still pretty vulnerable.
Here in California people on bikes do the lane splitting thing which I don't understand how it is legal. It always makes me feel uneasy when driving a car to have a motorcycle next to me in between lanes.
I remember seeing that lane splitting thing when we were out in California for work. We were on the expressway heading out to Tracy and people were flying by between cars. I rode a moped on my aunt and uncle's farm a long time ago, but that was pretty slow!
They do the lane splitting pretty consistently out here. I especially hate it when you get a large group of bikers passing you on both sides. You grip the steering wheel with both hands and hope for the best.
I never had a moped but I did have a Honda Spree for a while. It topped out at 30-35 mph from what I remember. That was fun riding around the country roads in Kentucky.
See, that's the one thing I hate about motorcycles, they drive so reckless a lot of times but then we are constantly being hammered about how we need to watch out for them on the roads. I get it is easy to miss them, but they drive like idiots a lot of times and you know if something were to happen you'd be the one to get in trouble because nobody watches out for the poor bikers. No offense to any of my friends who are bikers, but unfortunately the many bad ones ruin it for the good ones. Sorry for the rant too.
