Backwards sport bike trike .... geez, what will they think of next.
The only way I would ride one of those is if there were missle launchers mounted on it.
Snowmobile on wheels?
Call me a snob but I don't wave to them. In fact this wave thing has gotten out of hand anyway. Back in the 70's there was not so many bikes out there so I liked the wave thing. Now it's just a pain in the ***.

I demo'd one at Bike Week for ***** and giggles while I was killing time waiting to demo something I actually wanted to ride. They are weird - like riding a waverunner down the road. They are not a motorcycle.

I've seen a few of them around town, even at bike nights. They're interresting, that's for sure, and I expect they are fun to "drive", but so are convertible sport cars. To me riding means two wheels.

Our version of the DMV, the SAAQ, just this year decided that you no longer need a motorcycle license to operate one (or those T-rex things). There has been a huge explosion of them on the road. All you need now is a normal driver's license and a paid lesson.
Guess what was the first promotion offered by dealers ? Buy one, get your lesson for free!
Seriously, a lot of old folks here ride those. With their flipped up modular helmets and their ugly grins. I'm going to stop trying to wave at them before I get my *** handed to me by a cane wielding thug coming out of the old folk's home.

A trike requires a motorcycle license. I know absurd. They do exceptions on a per vehicule basis, not on any kind of logical criteria.

I had a couple of these hooligans chasing me around OH last week. My buddy, who owns a softail classic, is half owner of a Can-Am dealership here. Last weeks ride was actually a charity ride for his shop. It's a different ride for sure.

That's hillarious!
Look at the huge helmets they are wearing.
Gold Wing riders .... bunch of idiots .. they mostly think Harley's suck.
Most of em ... I know we got a few that go both ways ac/dc
