So it is kind of a collector's item. Jay Leno had one for a shor time and it was shown on the Tonight Show.
It's a lot of fun to drive and has a lot of zip. It always collects a crowd. Kind of like driving a one-man parade. Kids seem especially attracted to it and always yell and wave. |
Is that the same Corbin company that makes motorcycle seats? The logo looks familiar. It's pretty neat, but I sure don't understand why it needs to be so expensive.
