Never heard of her.

Very easy, they aren't stable at all in corners.

Age = less strength, arthritis from old age, bad knees, etc etc...I have an uncle who got super old and his legs lost alot of strength, he couldnt safely hold up a big gold wing so he triked it and didnt have to give up riding.

I cant believe you guys are dogging people for riding trikes. Regardless of their reasons (and most have a GOOD reason) at least they are RIDING.

a)Not Ride
b)put training wheels on an SB (which is STILL technically a trike)
c)or get a real trike that I can still travel on and see the countryside

It's not riding no matter how you want to slice it, it might as well be called an automobile because it stopped being a motorcycle the minute you put on that third wheel. Sorry, TWFix is not PC. If you cannot support yourself, tough shit. I won't get into this pandering bullshit our government does.

Hence why they outlawed 3-wheelers back in the day

I do not fear keeblers. It didn't take a BMW for me to feel this way. I had a natural hatred for trikes when I had the CBARRR as well. So my new found elitism had no effect on this opinion. My opinion matters more to me than yours.

There are trikes and then there are trikes.

Good trikes:

Still lame, I don't really care if it can lean. It's a trike.
