I'm confused. What's the etiquette with a Can Am 3-wheel thing?

Well said, gotta agree with that. Etiquette? what the frak is that.

Bikers are just as diverse, maybe more so, than cagers. Definitely more opinionated. So if someone wants to "ride / drive?" a 3 wheel whateva then that's their choice, isn't it?

Reverse trikes are like gay marriage.

You know that shit feels wrong, Deep inside, at a level where your instincts are in control, But you over ride it current logic, But fuck it, when its in your face, The gut reaction is still there.

If she doesn't have the physical ability to ride a motorcycle then it's obviously not for her. And yes, I would happily say to her face that I think Canams are gay.

LOL!!!! Somewhere on some CamAm forum someone is taking the piss out of homos that ride sports bikes in their matching leathers, cruiser riders with their tassels, etc

I've never understood why some people give such a fuck about others bikes/trikes etc?

Meanwhile across the other side of town
Fords are better than Holdens
and Holdens are better than Fords
and everyone knows that Nissans will just make both look shit.
But is this Harley Davidson a trike, a bike or just another one of those Can Amm thingy s

Count the wheels.

Trike = 3. Bike = 2.

This one looks a bit more comfy, and the R1 engine might just give it a bit more pep.

If we want to be REALLY pedantic about what is a bike etc then think on this...

A BiCycle is a human-powered two-wheeled conveyanance, ie a treadly, no? Shortened to Bike, no? So - a MotorBiCycle is a treadly with an engine, no?
Just like this

So bite me, all you non-purists...

Looks like a motorised bicycle to me, or motorbike for short.

Well as I have ridden a bike for 38 yrs, as main transport, and ride a Can am occasionally? You better not bend over in front of ME then had ya???
This actually is what pisses me off, figuratively... Ya(KB) bleat on and on about Rego, L plate low power bikes, etc, etc... but ya still stand divided? Gay or not pal, they are still part of the 'open to the elements' riding brotherhood.
PS: She wont be too hard to find, little 'pixie' riding a BIG blue Can am RT-T, What I cant follow is your 'logic' that as she is small and rides what suits her, it's 'gay'? >> Oh and as for X7 riders????

That is correct. Note that it can be pedalled or engined. Motorbike in short. Not necessarily a PTW contraption like this lot contends is a 'motorbike'...
And I'll lay odds that NO-ONE on a so-called motorbike would wave to someone riding one of those things in the picture, n'est pas?

This thread is a bit sad really. It's not as if motorcyclists don't need all the friends they can get so provoking a group of people with similar interests is like shooting yourself in the foot.

I get the definite impression that there is an age thing going on here. Even if it made the children hereabout think I was gay, I'd still love one of these.
