I'm booked in for Sun 24 May @ 11:30am
Stay Upright
i've ridden one :) my mate has a yellow one.
he brought it to tazzie, he was doing quite well on it.
BUT, if you have not ridden one, and you usually ride 2 wheels, it takes ALOT of getting used to.
when you first get on yoru like OMG what is this thing doing.... its exactly opposite to a bike, yet it has handlebars!
admittedly though, when i jumped on we were on the side of a narrow mountain pass in tazzie, no guardrails, staring at a rock face on my left and a sheer drop on my right!
also mega wheelspin, and the front wheels start lifting/getting real light at speeds over 150km/h!
my mate says he spoke to the canam dealer in smithfield and he wants them to put some sort of spoilers on the front
their first reaction was " you shoudlent be going that fast" to which my mate SCOFFED, what you mean? what happens on the track, or if " how dare me" break the the law and speed???
what are the tyres speed rated at?
anyhow, take one for a spin, its good to see what its like.
