It is quite expensive now to gain a full motorcycle licence. :(

That's what this chap did - "Motortriker" - and he seems a good rider - to me - considering he's had no training whatsoever!

He bought a £6,632.00 Piaggio MP3 500 LT Sport and he really enjoys it!

He's now inspired to take his motorcycle test! 8-)
If you want to be incrementally better: Be competitive. If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.

Nice review of the bike, with the full back story :)

I was intrigued by the mirror on the screen ...
Found it's a Hunter Riderscan ... Like the idea, but a bit steep at £39.00 :shock:

A sensible rider with the full kit, unlike the "boy racers" around here that have four wheeler ATBs, and ride them in T shirt and shorts without a helmet. Now that's gonna hurt if they come off.

If you pass your car test after the 19th,Jan,2013,you can no longer ride a mp3 trike on the car licence,also many of the insurance companys will not quote you any more.
