this belongs to a guy I work with, he seems pretty chuffed with it, though it was awkward to insure on his car licence. 500cc so it goes ok

I can see the point of riding a scooter as I use a Burgman 650 through winter/adverse weather/mobility etc. but 3 wheels 😬 not for me.You’re treated like bad smell at a bike meet too but they are a 2 wheeler and VERY practical.BP and CTB should get Burgmans and ride all year round in comfort I’ll speak to them😂😂😂

Ridden a 3 wheeler the other way round think the modern ones would be fun to try

My Supervan was 600cc,it was quite nippy and would get away quicker than a Mini 850 and a few other cars in the day (1973) 😎 big ends went on mine and had the engine out for crank regrind/rebuild.I had several “mishaps” in it including writing back end of a brand new Beetle off and ripping side of me van off,I hated the damned thing from 1st day of ownership
