Tell us how you really feel.......but I agree......the only reason to ride one of these POS's is if you are paralized!

I saw a guy on one at the Green Welly in Scotland last year. I have to say, it looked like a lot of fun.

He was walking with a stick, so I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that he couldn't ride a 2 wheeler any more so had graduated to a Can Am.

I saw a guy in Betws on one, I think he too were disabled, to be honest if I couldn't ride a bike anymore due to injury etc I'd have one of those in a heartbeat

Mr. Spock is my role model so be advised; I possess no (discernible) sense of humour.

It's all VFR (DCT) round here now. STILL missing my 1100s tho.

Really? so many of you like it. :( :wink: :wink:

I'd prefer a proper trike if the day comes that I can't ride on two wheels.... at least the front is a bike (and probably your favorite bike if you have the cash/know how).

Has anyone else tried to ride a 450cc racing quad? It's a good way to die quickly, and I think that thing would be much the same.....

having driven (and rolled) a reliant with its one wheel at the front I'd much prefer the stability of two at the front :)

I still lust after a Grinall Scorpion III after seeing one at the BMF years ago.

Hi,
I would have one, Three wheels can be a lot of fun. Many years ago (ok nearly 40 years ago :oops: ) I had one of these,

Great fun at the time even with only 15BHP from the 328cc British Anzanni 2 stroke motor. Wish I still had it.

Peter.
