"Cornering at 120 km hr" !  This on a brand new bike with tyres that still have the initial factory mould release coating on them. I've always been told to take it easy for the first couple of hundred kms. But hey, we are referring to a posting on the BC sportsbikes forum ... The MP3 is a marvel. Fun factor is off the scale. The Italians are geniuses.... Another review: blog entry March 29th : vespakc.blogspot.com/Ms D |

i saw this thing; i think it's pretty awesome; too bad no test rides
you know i think riding with all different vehicles is not a bad idea (scooters, cruisers, sportbikes etc) as long as all people ride in a sane matter;
also with the new proposed icbc policy of fines there is definitely another incentive to ride responsibly

Although this is probably deserving of it's own topic....
I think the ICBC proposal to penalize dangerous drivers with higher rates is a worthy proposal. In many other places, drivers with excessive speeding/moving violations are penalized using a "points on their license" system.
It would all be great with me, if for ever extra dollar they charged dangerous drivers, they discounted safe drivers the same amount. That is to say, ICBC's net gain in premium income would be zero, even though the dangerous drivers would be paying more. However, given that ICBC has been posting record profits in the last couple of years, I sincerely doubt they are likely to do anything like that. I suspect that safe drivers can expect little in premium reductions. This seems like just another excuse for ICBC to charge more, and make more.
F*ck ICBC.
Just a thought.

i test rode this thing on the weekend; it is a lot of of fun; extra front wheel gives more confidence in the city; but still retains all the characteristics of two wheel vehicles; almost could say it feels something like those supermotarders that drag their feet to get extra traction without having to drag your foot; (the extra wheel does it for you);
thanks bob and diane and van vespa
