I don't want to make fun of somebody's scooter, but....

I believe in the UK the wide track version of it skirts around needing an MC license.
In WA, land of politicians who obviously know bikes, You're required to either do your MC test on it (they give you an extra piece of paper that you must carry...) or have a trike endorsement...It's of note that if you apply anything from riding a trike to an MP3 you will wreck...
Still they trike/sidecar endorsement class gave me a weekend riding someone else's bikes on  a close course for cheap so it wasn't a complete waste.

For some people, yeah - our licensing laws have tightened up a lot in the past 10 years.

I ride a V-strom, ugly doesn't register with me


fwiw, ugly is a good theft deterrent

I don't think the V-Strom is ugly but what do I know I ride a Versys 650

I used to do a  lot of backpacking in the NC mountains.  A a couple of the trailheads,  cars were getting broken into. We almost always had a two or three hour trip there... with accompanied eating and drinking.  When we get to our destination, we leave all that trash from the ride strewn about the vehicle with the doors unlocked (if they are going to break your windows, you might as well leave the doors unlocked!). We could even leave valuables in the vehicle, hidden, and the trash would cause people to skip it and move on!

My buddy had a rusty red 3 cylinder Saab in NYC. We parked one day near the United Nations building in the late 60's, and I locked my door. He said, "no, you don't do that in the City!"
