So it's the wrong color.

Cool! Is it self-propelled?

One problem for someone like myself who is not vertically challenged. Because it is considered a motorcycle in my neck of the woods you would have to wear a helmet even though your inside the darn thing. A lady in lincoln has something like it and has to wear it.

We've got a firm locally that has been putting out three-wheeled "Gizmos" for about 5 or 6 years now. They are licensed as a motorcycle, but you don't need a motorcycle endorsement or a helmet to operate one. I did investigate a Gizmo-type vs. log truck crash two weeks ago. Gizmo lost. Driver lived. Didn't even scrape the log truck.

I became friends with the tuba player with the Ho Chi Minh City Ballet Symphony Orchestra (which performs in Hanoi as the Hanoi National Symphony with the same personnel) wondering how, in a country where literally everyone rides a motorcycle to work, how he takes tuba to work. It's simple. He has identical Yamaha CC tubas at the Opera House in Saigon, Philharmonic Hall in Hanoi, and his home in Ho Chi Minh City. He said when I rode around town with one of my antiques on a motorcycle, I looked silly.

Yeah, but what does he play when he does beer hall gigs?

My next door neighbor and his wife both commute 30 miles to work in opposite directions. They recently got two dinkies to drive for that purpose. Had to keep the Expedition because they have 4 kids and can't go anywhere as a family without taking both dinkies. If my calculations are correct they are spending an extra $5000 per year to save $2000 per year on gas.
