Not that I'm aware of.

I don't think there's a forum for them either.

Don't think that link is going to be so helpful.

I honestly don't understand Trikes.

None of the good bits about a car (roof, warmth, storage space), and none of the bonus bits of a bike (corners, acceleration, being awesome).

It seems like the worst of both worlds.

I know this reply is a bit late, but a well setup trike actually does have all of the "bonus bits" quoted above. They handle very well, and are stable to the point of being able to drift in the dry. Acceleration, while obviously not being as hard as a top level sports bike, is still very good on a powerful trike. Wheel stands are easily achievable. Btw, while I'm not a member (and don't own a trike), I can put people in touch with the Kiwi Trikers, who are a great bunch. Just email me, because I will only check back on here infrequently.

Cheers, Alex.

Last trike club meeting I attended was with my son at his kindergarten. He's grown up and moved on to 2 wheels since then.

my only problem with a trike is that it doesn't fall over when you let go it. oh and i can't get it thru traffic

having a repaint.
I can speak from a bikey perspective, as I run a couple of 1000cc bikes too, and basically its a totally different world. I think some folk just dont want the risk of fanging or lane splitting and are quite happy to both get wet and stuck in traffic for the added novelty value of running a trike. Trikes can be good fun and are something different to try perhaps when you have done all that bikes have to offer.
