What's this?

I bought Holly a MP3 and 2 minutes after I got back from NJ and unloaded it off the truck, she wrecked it (not really.... just fell over at a stop sign). She couldn't get the concept that you had to put your feet down at a stop. :banghead: After a few more low speed tip overs she said forget it and I traded it in for my Spyder !!!!!!! I lost a grand on the trade and only owned it 1 month.

Hold the dang train here for a minute!! You bought Holly the Piag... and then traded it out from under her for the Spyder?? :lecturef_smilie: I think that makes "Fatal Attraction" hers; my boy...

Yeah, but a steady diet of that would kill the critter. It wasn't going to keep up with my BMW for touring. I had no trouble, and never had to put my feet down. Just hit the switch on the handlebar, and it sits upright on its own. Take off with it locked, and it automatically unlocks at about 5 mph.

Your preaching to the chior Scotty !!!!! :roflblack: I tried to teach her that way but it made it worse.


What would happen is, once it unlocked her lean angle threw her way off. If she was making a turn or not setting completly upright, once it unlocked it would make her balance instantly and made her fall over by over correcting the bike. The steering/balance lock was great for parking, but not for stopping with Holly.

To be honest, those Italians had a engineering masterpiece when the developed that balance locking system. If it wasn't such a girly bike (way to small of tires for my taste), I probrably would have kept it. :doorag:


If that leaning/locking system was on the Spyder, that would be a blast to ride.:yes:

I'll say one thing for the MP3, with the two front tires and the leaning mechanism, it would turn the tightest figure-eights of anything I ever rode!

Well technically............. but I was sneaky and made sure it was for me. :doorag: How you might ask ???????? Easy, two words...........
