I am not necessarily opposed to them, and I understand that when you get wicked old or injured that it might be better than a car, BUT are trikes motorcycles?

I would think I would but a nice sidecar rig first ... and I know that a sidecar rigged bike is still a bike.

But, dont hurt me, I dont think a trike is a bike.

Of course they are motorcycles!

 

Bi = 2
Tri = 3

so no, trikes aren't bikes.

 

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

A trike is a three wheeled MOTORCYCLE and a bike is a two wheeled MOTORCYCLE. No a trike isn't a bike but it is however, a MOTORCYCLE.

 

Motorcycles are motorcycles, thats the MOTOR part of the name, bikes are just that.

So you ride a bike, like a HUFFY?

 

pffft.......I'd only have a Schwinn in my garage. Huffy's are for posers.

 

What about a trike with a VW engine in the back or a small V8 or 6 up front with a motorcycle front suspension. A Trike is a Trike with three wheels and a motorcycle is a motorcycle with two wheels. If a trike has a motorcycle engine I am assuming it is still a motorcycle. Hell I don't know.

 

Years ago, I told a guy that his harley looked like a nice bike. He got all offended and told me, "It's a Motorcycle, not a bike".

On the trike thing...I personally don't like them. They are fine for some, but if and when I get to the point that I can't ride my two wheels, I am going to trade it for a convertible car.

 

if a trike was a bike, it would be called a bike
