yeeh OK then, cos it has handle bars!!!  :oops:

So if I converted my disco to have handle bars, I could get away with cheaper tax and is insurance??

There must be something else  :?

Twin wheels - No axle = Bike

yeeh I do agree, 2 wheels and handle bars =  bicycle, but the one above has 4 wheels, 4 tyres, so is it a bike or a car?? and surely the wheels must have an axle to run on, otherwise how does it turn!!

I meant 'how does the wheel turn round', not the bike, if it didnt have an axle as M Thomas said

It must have axles for the wheels to turn round..... maybe not the same axle as a car, granted, but nevertheless an axle

So come on then, why is it a bike and not a car, cos it has 4 wheels on it, not 2.....

I am not convinced, if you hadnt guessed   :wink:

It has a spindle and bearings not an axle.
The wheels are twin ie fixed together as on the back end of a lorry. You have 2 to look at but they count as one(they rotate together at the same rate and not able to turn independently ).
Having it that wide stops it from falling over. :wink:

Falling over is another key element of the motorbike surely? it relies of the rider's balance, not the fattness of the wheels.

Is it a car...is it a bike.....no it's a joke.  only in America.
