Why bother

I'll go back to my point: many older guys who rode bikes but now can't due to age or illness or handicap, ride three wheelers or similar vehicles because they still like to be in the wind.

It may be "why they bother"

I know this because I used to ride and nearly every rally or bike hangout had a guy who fit my description. Enough if them that even Harley began manufacturing their own trikes a few years back. Looks like other manufactures are getting in on the act. (Used to be aftermarket rigs only in this niche)

Ya, but Thomas's point is valid too. They're just stupidly ghey.
I agree. You don't, so what, it is what it is. Drop it, or at least mention Obama or something...

Umm, I'd say if you can drive this? You can drive a car.

All day long.

You nailed it in your original description. It was pretty funny actually...

Never said any other posts were not valid

And Obama is a terrible president. A terrible leader. A joke to other world leaders. But seems to be a good husband and dad.

The thing has a steering wheel, 3-wheels, auto trans, full size car wheels, etc...why not just drive a conv. car? That is my point.

Pretty sure it's the "in the wind" thing

That was my point. Never meant to stir up crap in your thread. Sorry.

Clearly the little lady made him buy it.

To me that is more like a three wheel car, than it is a trike, not like the old trikes of the old days. Do you remember the trike meter maids ?

Yes I remember those

And there were those good humor ice cream trikes with the cooler full of goodness out back

PS...I think you would still get just as much wind in the face with a vert.
