Thinking about buying one?
I just did and am grinning from ear to ear! Bought it as a Xmas present to myself, and am still grinning from ear to ear....this is a FUN bike!
I just read this article and found it very accurate and a fun read, so thought I should pass it on - perhaps it will help you make up your mind!
I was actually searching for info on luggage racks and came across this....

Hi Matrid & a happy new year.
I think you'll find that this article has been posted on multistrada.net some time ago. But there is no harm in reminding us how great the girls/bikes look in the photos! You've made an excellent choice & given youself a superb Chritmas present. Safe riding.

Hi Matrid
This is the link I use to convince the doubters
http://www.onewheeldrive.net/index.php? ... Itemid=126
It has probably been posted before as well - I'm not sure.

What moron wrote the article on the fastdates web site? Whoever it is needs to check his or her poetic liscense when it comes to mis-identifying a sensor for a fuel injector "on top of the cam cover, feeding fuel directly in to the combustion chamber"...some people need to stick to writing porn, and not attempt crossing over to ligit tech writing!

I agree. What writing? Also, if Chandi did the writing herself you should apologize.

Reminds me of an e-mail a long time ago. This guy was selling a generator...I couldn't see it. Any of you help me with that?

Thats what I like about the biking scene. It takes you back to a time when the term "political correctness" hadn't even been invented. Bikes & babes, generators & babes, babes & babes, great give me more!

actually, in hind-sight my posting may be classified as a DE-generator.

Not that the above is not truly beautiful. it is.
But to get back on topic, Cycle World finishes up their long term review of the Multi in the Feb 06 issue. Obviously not an advertisement, but we already know all the quirks mentioned and accept them.
