100% agree!

Ya know if you never ridden one you really ought to. If nothing else than to just get an idea on what they are all about. Prolly the most fun I have had a bike in awhile (just remember not to lean in the curves )

Also...just assuming there is something wrong with someone who rides a trike is down right offensive. A lot of folks ride trikes because...get this...they are FUN. Nothing physically wrong with them. OMFG...that's a mind blower...

Seriously...

I guess you can say "no offense intended" as much as you like, but the only disability present is the level of mental retardation displayed by the OP in assuming that this would be the case. I have two-and three-wheelers. I bought my trike when I was 33. I can travel across country, pack all my stuff, and put in 750 miles a day through any riding conditions. My fatboy and streetglide are great but they are different.

I guess you know what they say about assumptions...if you post stuff like this on the forum people will think you have a mental disability. No offense intended, though Threatlevel.
