Couldn't have said it better myself. Some ********* are always lookin' to stir the pot. After 2 near fatal crashes on my scoots, I EARNED the right to ride a 3 wheel MOTORCYCLE.

Yes. Even if it has a roof and windshield and doors... We have a few 3 wheeled cars around here, and they are required to wear a helmet, even though they have seatbelts and bassically are in a car, but it just has one front wheel instead of 2.

WTF are you talking about? Are you now stalking me? You disagreed with me in one thread (in which you showed your lack of intelligence), and now when I post somewhere else, you have to post something to try and contradict me? Did you see the little smiley at the end, indicating that it was in jest?

Stop trying to think so much, you're going to hurt yourself since you're not used to it. Warm up slowly and you'll get better results.

Geez, calm down already. I was correcting your information. And no, sarcasm (the form of jest used) is not clear in writing, and as such should be avoided to prevent confusion, even with smilies.

You think I have a vendetta against you because we disagreed on a subject ? The Internet isn't that serious, friend.

I have one of those. I personally don't care what others call it - I love it and it's a blast to ride!
