Topic: Is It a Bike, Is It a Car?

I'd drive it, or... uh... I mean ride it.  Maybe pilot it?  But I sure as hell won't be buying it at 24,000 pounds.

Very cool, indeed !
I built a couple tilters myself, a few years ago, but my tilt mechanism was manual.
This one obviously works off of an accelerometer or some such thing. Very elegant
Of course I tilted the whole thing not just the front half-
-C'mon !

I guess it would keep the rain off.  I'm not sure how it would be any more fun than riding a motorcycle, though.  Less, in fact, without being in the wind.  I guess it has a heater, too?  Air conditioning?  Probably a stereo, too, right?

I like the idea of it being more for commuter transportation rather than a "powersports" toy.  Certainly could help relieve congestion in big cities if more people drove them instead of SUVs.

I think it could be revolutionary if it sold for $10,000.00 and was marketed to the "mini" crowd.
