What's with trikes?
#11
My Mother and Father both ride trikes, and my Dad can still ride a two wheeler better than most people I know. I don't get it either, but I don't have to get it. It's his choice to ride whatever he wants and who am I (or you) to judge what another person rides? It's his money and choice and he can buy/ride whatever he wants.

Whatever makes people happy. If it doesn't harm me, isn't against the laws of nature, more power to them. I , too, don't see why some folks worry so much about others habits.
I wouldn't mind having one, whether it is a HD trike or even a CanAm. Looks like fun, and the feedback I have gotten from CanAm owners is they love them to death.

A guy that we have ridden with a couple of times rides a trike. He is in a wheelchair and the trike gives him room for him, his wife, the wheelchair and trunk space. With a sidecar, I don't think he'd get that. I'm guessing the trike is more stable in turns and such, as well, since the sidecar only gives support to one side of the bike/rider.

Think about it for a minute,not all bikers are 100%.Two very close friends had to give up two wheels,one because of home invasion left him a parapalegic,the other is developing Parkinsons,both not ready to give up being in the wind.So you see it makes a lot of sense to give these guys the choice of how they can enjoy what we take for granted.

I understand that some folks who can no longer keep it up on two wheels, for whatever reason, need more wheels. But, I don't get the trike, training wheel thing. How about a sidecar? They're pretty cool, actually, and historically a big part of motorcycling. Have you seen those electronic training wheels that automatically come down at stop lights/signs? WTF!!
Then there are are the kits that are actually training wheels that retain the bikes's rear wheel. After that, we get the trike conversions which H-D is now selling. How about a cool side car? Handling wouldn't be any worse, and Mama would probably be more comfy. When the time comes, I will go sidecar. Plus, for some reason, people love 'em.

I have the same problem with the color blue.
