In Nevada, a trike is registered as a tri-mobile. No helmet is required
In Nevada, you do not need a motorcycle endorsement to drive a trike

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.

Fair enough.
So stop following me. (that's sarcasm)

So if you put one wheel on the side as in sidecar it's still a mc but if you put two on the side as in trike, it's not.
How about this? MC or not

JMHO I believe trikes are Motorcycles with 3 wheels. Not a Bike... Bi = 2, but still a motorcycle.

Ummm, last I checked, it still says Harley Davidson on my gas tank. I'll let you guys know if by some act of God it changes. But until then, yeah, a trike is a bike with one extra wheel.

I consider 3 wheeled vehicles trikes and 2 wheeled vehicles bikes but then again a trailer has 2 wheels but I don't consider one of those at all, I'd rather ride. 
My wife told me if I got a trike then she would ride with me. I still have my bike.

Soooooo.....
It seems that a trike is not a bike.
a motorized bike, a motorcycle, may be a motorized tricycle, a trike.
but a segway is not a motorcycle, a two front wheel motorized thingy is not a trike.
...and sidecar rigged motorcycles are side car rigged motorcycles, not trikes.
(and yes they are cool, but now somehow less popular than these new trikes).
I will not bring up scooters not being motorcycles, despite fitting the definitions.
I think I get it now... Next question: if you wave at motorcycles, do you wave at trikes?
(what about scooters?)
