Who's Here: A Man From Groton On A Three-Wheeled Motorcycle
The Piaggio MP3 500 Made An Impression On Onlookers

Frank Gilliland, of Groton, drove through Ledyard on his three-wheeled scooter made by Piaggio. Gilliland bought the scooter two years ago and he said he needed a motorcycle license to drive it.

Gilliland said he thought so and proceeded to demonstrate how they pivot when he makes turns.
"It took a while to get used to it," he said of the two-wheels in front.
