 |
|
| Thought this might be of interest to anyone that wants an MP3 or Fuoco but hasn't passed their bike test (but has a car driving licence). I have rang the bloke coz my mate is in that situation (wants a Fuoco but doesn't want the ag of the bike test), he is just waiting for SVA formal approval (whatever that means) but already has 3 Fuoco on the road. With it being a trike, most bike insurers wont touch it, but there are a few trike specialist like adrian flux who will. |

as someone in the trade, getting it reclassified with dvla may be easy, but how does the average joe go about doing this? |

Do I remember reading a post about a fight with a foreign toll operator wanting to charge an MP3 rider as a trike rather than let him pass free as a bike?
Can imagine this reclassification trick causing some issues for folks going on rallies - two Fugly riders showing Sergaent Frenchy documents where the same vehicle is both a trike and a bike :/
Or would that kinda thing be 'normal' to anyone in the transport business?

Right here is the deal
front wheels need to be spaced 6 mm each
you need hazards that work when the ignition is off(Fuoco ones don't)
You need a switchable rear fog light
then it's a trike!!! |
