Tour de France? If so, does anybody know anything about those motorcycles that are in the field as tv coverage bikes or maybe referee bikes? I noticed a few of them that have two wheels up front but they are not the Spyder Can Am types. These with the two up front are a lot closer together. Just wondering if anybody knows what they are as I have not seen them before.

I've only seen them on motorcycles. The wheels move, so that even leaned over, both are always on the ground.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after. -
Yamaha Niken. $16000 and you too can have one (not in Tour de France livery though).Last edited by Guest; 07-14-2019, 09:28 PM.Comment

Interesting bike. Was just reading about it in Rider magazine. Piaggio's MP3 scooter is a 3 wheel like this.Last edited by Guest; 07-14-2019, 09:37 PM.Comment

I watch the Tour every year. Used to go watch it live when I was back in England. I wish I was that fit! (I also wish there was the kind of infrastructure around cycling in the UK that there is now back then...!)
I think Thomas will probably hold it this year if he doesn't get too much bad luck. We're about to find out who can survive the mountains...

Thomas's crash where the one rider's bike broke in half was crazy. Amazing he wasn't really injured."Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."
