There's no excuse for riding one of them unless you're a cripple.

So, they combine the bulk of a car with the exposure to the elements of a motorcycle.!
The worst of both worlds, marvellous.

Good greif, it must be sad to be some of you guys. I guess you are all to scared to try anything new or slighty out of the ordinary as it may not conform to your "mates"excpectaitions of your manliness. And most will knock things they no nothing about, ridden, driven or in many occasions even seen. I know of a fella with one of these and he rates it quite well and has alot of fun on it.He says it has it limitations as well as do most things. he is not old or a cripple and owns a Busa as well. MIND YOU we are a country full of sheep.

Bloody giggle to ride one fast on a flowing bit of road. My brother in law has one and it's a lot of fun if you turn the traction control off. I would have brought one if my crash last year left me unable to ride a normal bike. Google GG Quadster. We are looking into the legalities of getting one registered for the road here at the moment

I rode with one on the Mornington Peninsular last year around tight, hilly, winding roads going to the Phillip Is GP. I spoke to the owner and he loved it, but when I said, " how does it handle " ! he replied " like a farm quad " It is hard work.

not saying it wouldnt be fun. but it looks like it doesnt know if it is an open wheeler, go-kart or quad bike. Based purly on looks, I dont like it. But thats my opinion.

Google DFW Trikes, I know the guys that sell them in Arlington Texas and they rate them. These guys are huge Harley and American Motorbike dealers and they say that these Trikes get you smiling hard. Price is a killer though.
