I want...

And I want it now.
|
God, that looks horrible to me - like a bizarro world version of a real
motorbike
|
|
So do I. Want to go halves. I keep it for ten months, you for the other
2 months?
|
It's a spic thing, obviously.
Tell you what, you pay half, I pay half. I get to keep it for 8 months
and keep it clean and serviced, you have it for November, December,
January and February and you can leave it dirty if you like. Sounds fair
to me.

|
|
That is bizarrely cool...
|
How does that steering work then?
|
It's hub steering - the hub allows the wheel to rotate and turn left and
right.
|
|
|
The Tesi is gorgeous. I've always wanted one of those.
|
My boss has one of the originals, unridden, sitting in his collection.

Okay, so where do I address my £150 cheque to when you pay the other
|
I'm not convinced that you're taking this at all seriously.
|
£20,000?

Well, when you pull the bar to the left, the bike goes left; pull right
and the bike goes right.
However, when you gently push on the left bar, you go right and when
you gently push on the right, you go left. It's called
counter-steering. Something shafties do as well as chain driven bikes,
|
Indeed. Unfortunately it's exactly opposite to how you describe it.
Push on the left bar to go left, push the right to go right; in either
case it will cause the bike to drop to that side and steer in that
direction.
|
and to go over the handlebars?
|
Press both bars at the same time, while simultaneously weighting one
front and one rear footpeg, whistling the dambusters theme and mooning
the grandstand.
|
|
I do hope this was just a brain/typing slip and you haven't really
been trying to do it that way for all these years.
|
of course.
|
My bikes must be broken then. When I push the left bar, I go left.
|
You must be sitting the wrong way round. Best turn around and give it a go.
|
I suppose that would have the advantage of me not having to look where I
was going - a bit like Peril-Sensitive Sunglasses.
|
|
|
|
Oh. Just the same as my bike then. But of course, mine looks a lot less
complicated.
