but a motor bike - one of those that look one size bigger than a scooter but with TWO front wheels - never seen anything like it before - two back wheels yes - as in a tri-cycle but this had two front wheels -one ether side of the fork.

pretty cool. Can't think of the name, but I think they are made by the same people who make snowmobiles. I saw an orange one on the M4 on the weekend - probably in Penrith for the AGM of the Ullyses club.

They've been out since about early to mid last year I think.

There is a bike shop up the road from me (well 5 K away) that has them, I think Aprili? I have also heard that in WA? they have larger 'real bike' size ones that are 'very' high performance.
I will collect a pic next time I go past.

which is code for little mick wouldn't mind trying one...... :wink:
ps I gave the daytona a fraction too much throttle the other day and popped the biggest mono I've ever done! - quite unintentional but satisfying as I overtook the car in front who was p*ssing me off on one wheel (not that I'm condoning that sort of irresponsible and childish behaviour)
