    For SnoSherrif, who dreamed of making a motorcycle that could work under all driving conditions. based as much around the stock 650 as possible however the rider position was moved down several inches to get a better center of gravity. small bearing run under the sides of the fibreglass enclosurw hich allow then to touch the ground without scratching up. this is useful when stopping, where the bike's acceleration quickly picks it back up. Also helps for stability on less than desirable surfaces such as snow and ice. Fully heated/ac cabin. Take a look at the future of transport.

    So the ‘body bearings’ will balance the bike on the winter roads? It seems to have very low clearance so when you are in deeper snow then you may get hung up leaving your tire spinning and not going anywhere. Will this allow you to corer without tipping? It seems like it would be very tippy during emergency maneuvers and when cornering bit harder. I’m thinking a winter ride will require tricycle or quad like wheels to keep balanced and allow safe cornering or something like that. I was also thinking about having tracks instead of the wheels. One could utilize old snowmobile tracks for this.

    This is very nice! Capacity for groceries? I'd have to justify all the time I spent out with the missus.
