It wasn't put in here for it being an ugly two-wheeler. It was just put in as a visualization of lgk saying he'd rather ride a motorized bar stool. :P

Oh I dunno about that. Ever seen the videos of crash tests on Ford Pintos? If you hit a Pinto from behind at about 35mph it will be enough to jam both doors, puncture the gas tank, and cause a fire in the rear to start in a matter of seconds (if the engine is running of course). That to me constitutes a "death trap".

As a matter of interest, what do you have to set the standards in the US, we have NCAP, which is a big Euro wide safety organisation. Sorry, to redeem myself from the hijack, what do we reckon to this ....... |

Oh, and the original design of the pinto called for 3 things that were taken out before production that would have saved it and fixed that problem. 1) safety bar reinforcement in doors to provide extra strength to the structure of the car, 2) airbags, which would have been the first car to have them, and 3) a fuel cell in the gas tank to prevent leakage in case of accident. All 3 of these were taken out of the design and the result was a car that did in fact get people killed because of that situation I described.

Didn't need to push it, (other than to start it !). Most uncomfortable bike on the planet, stretched out over the tank, with it sticking in your stomach, and you have to change gear with your heel. Loved it
Oh, and I reckon with me aboard that makes it a DOUBLE-UGLY |
