    WTF?

    First ignore the third wheel and just think of it as a scooter in 125, 250 and 500cc sizes. It's comfortable, good storage under the seat, automatic gearbox just like other big scooters like the Suzuki Burgman, Yamaha TMax or Honda Reflex. And the 500 version will do 90-100 mph or so and can easily keep up with freeway traffic. Now add the third wheel with a tilting mechanism. It rides almost exactly the same. If you ride a bike you can ride this with no real adjustment. But because of that third wheel it's almost impossible to make the front slide. If you lock up the front wheel or lose traction on the front wheel on a conventional M/C or scoot, you're pretty much guaranteed to fall off. But on this you're pretty much guaranteed to be able to get away with it. And then finally there's the party trick. With a little practice you can use the manual tilt lock so you never need to put your feet down when you come to a stop at traffic lights. The downside is extra weight and a little less performance than a 2 wheeled version. And perhaps a little less easy to filter through dense traffic where that's common behaviour. And finally there's a little less leg room available. And no, it's not a motorcycle, it's a scooter. But big scooters are actually just as cool in their own way. All of that may be hard to understand in the USA. But its all well understood in Europe and these things are getting to be commonplace, even in London.

    WTF?

    i bet that is falcons dad running away from the sheriff!!! have you tried to sell the picture to tmz? they might give you some money for it!!! if you get any money for it you have to split it with me because it was my idea!
  3. thats what the sheriff is saying too! did you already read about that or were you just guessing?
  4. no, seriously, it is for real. look at the website and read about it!
  5. this is so cool, the kids name is falcon! how funny is it that they faked this whole thing and the kids name is falcon! is that a coincidence or perhaps they have been planning this for all of little falcons life? wow. i think they should get there own show for putting so much work into this! impressive.
  6. I searched "balloon boy kid" but came up empty. What did i do wrong?
  7. Apparently he was in a balloon last week, but he really wasnt in it, but the whole country thought he was, but he was in his attic, apparently his dad made him do it, not get in the balloon but fake the whole thing so he could get on a tv show, not the kid, but the dad, not really the dad, actually the whole family! crazy! http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/10/18/colorado.balloon.investigation/index.html
