Do they have a class for trikes or has anyone taken the class for trikes?

If I remember right, MSF had sent out some invites for coaches to participate. I didn't go since it was too far away. So I'm pretty sure MSF is at least developing a basic trike course. Not sure which states have adopted it yet.

Problem with both of them is the primary focus on 2 wheels. I haven't seen any trike training for the road. The local ATV dealers have a safety course for their machines. That would help to advance a trained 2 wheel rider to the handling of 3 wheels. Most states don't differentiate between 2 and 3 wheels for licensing, but testing is done on 2 wheels.

GA has a trike class at the MSF center but not at Rider's Edge.

I took a trike and sidecar course in Northern Virginia, put on by Evergreen. Here is their site: http://www.esc.org/step_training.php

Took the Evergreen course here in WA. Took the card to DMV and they added the trike/sidecar to my license. Good class, I found out things about the two I didn't know and no one had said anything about. It was worth the money.
