I'm getting a Trippy...

Motability have offered me a Trippi Trycycle Scooter from Nippi. Funny names I know.

Basically they want to take my Mobility Allowance for the next 3 years, pay for the insurance and tax and give me a Brand New Trippi.

The trippi specs are here: http://www.nippi.co.uk/trippi.shtml

All this is run by Motability and is a scheme for disabled people to get mobile.

I'm going to go for the Blue one. :)

Mobility allowance?

I get High Rate mobility from the Government for my disability. It's a whole Seroxat issue.

I want one.

K, I didn't realize you had a disability.

Don't mention that Seroxat stuff. I have issues with it. ;)

You can borrow mine when I get it. :)

Can't you drive an adapted car?

I would but I can't affors the deposit on the Motability cars.

It would be nice to get the Saab on offer from motability but the deposit is a hefty £4300. With the Trippi I only pay £150 :)

No car, eh. That sux. :)

"Large luggage compartment, suitable for one helmet."
translation.
"Large helmet storage device, suitable for other crap when driven safely."

Are you required by law to wear a helmet to ride that thing, Amon?

Nope. It's always recommended that you do though for obvious reasons.

That thing does 120 MPH and must be God-like at cornering with the 2 back wheels.

I want one more.

They do a "Hells Angels" one:

I'm trying to figure out...on a scale of 1 to 10...how good the odds are to pick up a chick while riding a "Trippi".

3?

Room for a dead one in the back of that yellow one. So, probably a case of just running one down.

None :) Also, the chance of me pullin a bird anyway is none. :) It's just me and my right hand fellas. :D

lol @ puki

well...as long as you know what you're getting yourself into Amon...a life of celibacy! lol j/k

Can't they give you a proper bike?? :/

I'm not allowed to ride a 2 wheeler because of my disability. :)

The Trippi will do for getting about around London and will come in handy. :)
