I had one of these (mine had a big picture of Jesus on the side and 726 cu in) for the odd trip to the city, shopping with Mrs Bathfire or taking the grandchildren to see their friends. I can tell you that they are much under-estimated as private transportation.
I chose it after a few fender-benders with errant motorists. You hardly feel a thing and small things just bounce off you. Smooth, comfortable and more torques that you could wave a stick at. I found it most useful for entering freeways or just turning on to the main drag; people just seemed to yield as you pulled out.
Off-road it was good too – I drove all over the “Eco-Farm” run by those hippies one night and I must say that the Mack made its own roads, even through fences.
I got rid of it a month or so back as Des Moines started charging per parking bay occupied and some little Hitler at Wal Mart took exception to my parking in the disabled bays, which was more or less the only place I could park it (and I had a sprained wrist!)
(I don't think it was too bad on fuel, although I did suspect that someone was stealing it the number of times I had to put the odd 500 gallons in it.
