<!--quoteo(post=20564:date=Thu 2nd Nov 2006, 07:30 AM:name=Pict)-->QUOTE(Pict @ Thu 2nd Nov 2006, 07:30 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Sadly, this leads to wondering what those "half car" enclosed BMW thingys are like - though I'm not going to be seen in/on one!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

A colleague of mine has a C1 and I've had a go round the block near work. His is only the 125 as he is a learner. It has a very low power to weight ratio due to all the metalwork and an extremely high centre of gravity! It was rather strange riding on tiny wheels too...... and horrible twist and go - I kept putting the back brake on thinking it was the clutch. There's all manner of crap on it - windscreen wiper, heated this that and the other, seat belt that won't let you start unless it's done up, ridiculously over complicated centre-stand, immobilser etc. etc. Plenty to go wrong (and it does).

He rides in all weathers as he commutes from the Isle of Wight on the foot passenger ferry and leaves the bike at the docks. He only wears a light anorak and no gloves (as he falsely believes himself to be immune form crash damage due to being in half a cage) but he does stay dry - and the heater blower keems him warm and the windscreen demisted!!!

Needless to say, the guy's the butt of many jokes but he's pretty thick skinned about it.....you'd have to be, I guess. [Image: tongue.gif]
