I know I'd run my toes over wheeling it out of the garage.

It makes me wonder if you need such fancy brakes on ice.

I think it's sleeping in this picture.
I'd like to try one, but not sure I'd want one as a daily driver, it's too wide.
Have you seen the price? :shock:

I'd try one but I'd have a Twizy and £20k rather than buy that one!

I could use one of those for the other half's shoe collection when we go off somewhere on the bike. She never has understood 'pack essentials only'.

Wonder if I could bolt it to the XJ? :)

I took my test after the 125 law came in but i did have a go on a 250 LC with a sidewinder fitted when i was 16 .... it weighed fuck all and would bounce up and hit you in the leg while leant over in a corner on left handers . The law changed in 1983 to 125cc so i missed it by a year

A local guy had a Sidewinder on a Yamaha FJ1100.

He also complained that it came up and bashed him at 100 mph.
