This critter showed up at Starbucks this afternoon. Absolute minimum of equipment but is street legal. And surprisingly quiet for such short little mufflers.

Let's hope not. His helmet is also an oldie and probably less than optimum. T-shirt, shorts, sneakers, all the right gear for a lasting expression of oops I screwed up.

Not even a front brake, wow, reminds me of a trail bike I once owned, it had a front brake, it just didn't work, so you learn how to stop without it. Oh yeah, and somebody needs to tell him he's got he gear shift lever and the rear brake pedal on the wrong sides too! :biggrin:

It is a very British twin for those of us who ride on the wrong side of the street.
