Honda Gyro





"The Honda Gyro is a family of small, three-wheeled, single-occupant vehicles sold primarily in Japan, and often used for delivery or express service.
These vehicles are tilting three wheelers. They combine a tricycle's stopped & low-speed stability with a leaning main-body for stability while turning at speed. They resemble a scooter with a small hinged rear pod containing the engine and two drive wheels. This particular variation was developed and patented by George Wallis of G.L.Wallis & Son in Surbiton, Surrey in 1966. It was first marketed in the failed BSA Ariel 3 of 1970, then licensed to Honda."

Mitch had one of those. I bet Mitch had the similar doll as well. Newer version have canopy and all, looking like a small car.

  2. I did something with a Gyro once. I went into the corner pretty fast, and rear end started to, sort of hop, and suddenly swapped back, and threw itself and me off of it. I swore that day never to touch another tricycle!
