  3 wheelers rule!

Back when I was young and invulnerable, I rode dirt bikes. A lot. Every day, if it wasn't snowing, and sometimes when it was. I rode sometimes with friends of mine, that preferred 3-wheelers (trikes, we call them.) We didn't stick to the front yard, or the driveway, or the paved roads. No, we liked to get the furthest away from others as we could, and the rougher the country, the better. And even though I am very uncomfortable on trikes, my friends were good on them. They could go places I couldn't, could carry food and gear if they wanted, and could almost keep up in the fast stretches. It would be unsafe for me to ride the way they did, but they did it for years, and never got hurt. In fact, one of the faster ones never wrecked his trike (350X) in all those years! He still gets riled up if you mention that 3-wheelers are not safe. Of course, I refuse to go near his truck when his trike is in the back, I'm afraid it might roll out of there and kill me. At least that is what I tell him.
By the way, the side hill stability issue is a little silly. Put a motorcycle on the side of hill and let go of it, it falls right over. Level ground, too. Riding is a dynamic process.

Cutter,
The way I heard that explained was that people with motorcycle experience that may be used to putting a leg down in corners, would run over themself with a 3-wheeler (I've seen it happen). Somebody that hadn't ridden a motorcycle at all didn't have the propensity to put a leg down, so they were OK. My friends that rode the trikes a lot had never ridden motorcycles, they never got hurt. I used to kid them, though: "Three wheelers: one more than you want, one less than you need."
Bill
