Like I said, if you're going to have three wheels you may as well have four. Nothing can replace a bike, and the MX5 is about the most fun you can have aside from a bike.

A trike is the combination of all the disadvantages of both a bike and car. Can't lean in corners and takes up the same room as a car. Still need the bike gear to ride them though.

Just the same issues as motorcycles, when things go bad too ...

I saw a similar thing at the Big Boys Toys show. Quite cool!

I can relate to the withdrawal of not having a bike to ride..... worse still is actually still having a bike but not being able to ride it, My Virago has been off the road a long time while I have been tinkering with it......... and still not going lol

A nice young fella decided hitting our tintop at around 80km/h was something to do that day (altho it was unplanned on his part) created a dilemma for me

..... no wheels to get to work ...... idea>>>>>>

>>>> oops..... no ....not driven to drink

....... I went over to Hammie and bought another bike YAY so the young fella actually done me a favour LOL

Problem is tho ..... I have a nice C50 Boulevard now..... and what to do with my old XV750 that's had a totally rebuilt motor and lotsa dollars spent on it ...... tossing up weather to keep it and make it a project bike or sell it for what I can get as is.

In the meantime ...... very much enjoying having a throbbing monster between my legs again

Can't argue with your choice of bike, Mate! My Boulevard was the best allrounder I ever had and I loved it! My wife loved it too as a pillion and we went lots of places together.
