Thats the rectifyer for the battery charging system, its in the air stream to keep it cool, pretty standard kit on any motorcycle.

learn something new every day

I suspected that would be the case, since it has a vibration free mount to protect the electronics.

Thanks for clearing this up.

What wires are we talking about? Something in the cockpit?

One of the problems with the 3W that I forgot to mention in my driving impressions was the very poor turning circle. I can't get it down into our underground storage without doing a 3-point turn at one of the corners! I hope that the Works are able to sort this issue out, as it is far from practical for such a small car and all our other cars can drive straight into our parking.

I'm impressed with the 6-flags that will be on your 3W, but note that you have missed off the Belgian one. Are you retiring to the south of France Steven?

Love the photos by the way, what did PJ think to it? Has he driven it yet? Let's have your more detailed impressions please...

Brian, I'd meant to ask you about that. Although I spent quite a bit of time looking over the MTW at the factory I didn't look specifically at what might limit lock, though I certainly noticed how poor it was during my brief test.

Is there anything obvious looking at your car?

Cheers

did a few hours of driving yesterday,
pjh will drive it in a few weeks (he's not insured for the thing)

my impressions aren't yet to conclude
I'm getting used to it and feel more at ease with it
did a bit of M-way and it felt fine
when driving more than 30min I'll take a helmet next time
(now I took my cycling gear and Dafalgan Forte)

flags: I'll replace .BE with .EU

Question, what's the front tyre pressure?

Interested as the front tyres are exactly what I run on my vintage trike. Suspect it'll be a pound or two more pressure than I use as the new three wheeler is heavier.
I use 19 psi at the front, and 25 psi at the rear - completely different rear tyre.

I'd love to do a detailed write up like I did with the Aeromax and 1M (and others, not owned by steven). But I won't be able to drive it I'm afraid. Insurance company issues...

I have done about 6 miles in it as a passenger and overall i'm very impressed by the stability in corners and even on the straights. It feels rather light (because it is) and should suit my driving style very well. I like the fact that you sit so low that you can actually touch the pavement, it gives you a great sence of stability due to the center of gravity being so low and nicely inbetween the wheels. I also have the impression that the balance of the car is slightly off to the front of the car, I'm afraid it's a bit nose heavy and that would probably scare me on the turn in to a corner due to possible understeer. but I am ofcourse guessing now since the ride was short and didn't feature alot of cornering.

Focussing more on the overal experience, I don't think anything comes close to this to make you feel special. The car draws huge amounts of attention, but not in a negative way. Due to my nature of speeding every so often this could be a positive thing because people actually like to see you going through the twisty bits and don't seem to complain about it. Ofcourse adding to the overal experience is the fact that you are in a giant sigar with three wheels and a big V-twin. This makes the car rumble and gives you that sence of speed that we all love, at normal speeds... not the insane supercar speeds of today. So it is a fun machine and it won't cost you your license when you take it out for some fun, I see that as a big plus.

I have only one issue with the car, and that's the gearknob. It just isn't up to par with the rest of the styling on the machine.
