Pretty cool but like all things....it has been done before..... but instead to two wheels side by side this one only had a single wheel....
Attachment 9770 Attachment 9771 Attachment 9772 Attachment 9773 This MV Augusta 60cc Monomoto Superleggera is the experimental machine ridden by young wealthy Italian Luiggi Bandini, during practice for the 1954 Milano-Taranto Road Race. Bandini tragically lost control in a misty mountain section, while waving to a pretty spectator. His grief stricken father, Count Enzio Bandini, “The Falcon,” never again permitted anyone to ride or even view this advanced design, and knowledge of its whereabouts faded. Eventually, rumors of this fascinating machine reached the motorcycling bon vivant Todd Fell. On a trip to Naples, Italy, his quest to find it was rewarded at the Bandini country villa, where in 2004, fifty years after the tragic accident, the late Count’s family was persuaded to part with the treasure. |
2008.. old news, and tops out at segway speeds.
|
I bet Luiggi wished his Augusta had topped out at Segway speeds too......
|
I really liked the comment about fast braking.. also thought it was interesting that one of the foot pegs were bent...
Nice looking though.... great plastic work.... M |
None of this was old news to me or I wouldn't have posted it.

^^ Absolutely, some people just don't realize that it might be new to someone.

Then there was this one...... kind of needs a steering damper at the end.....
