    Has anyone ridden a trike?

    I'm wondering if anyone has ever ridden one of those big trikes.I've seen a couple around Taupo and they actually look like a heap of fun.
    The one I looked at could carry 2 passengers as well as the rider (driver?)
    My bike has 3 wheels-You gotta problem with that???

    Is it a car you get wet in or a bike you can’t corner on?
    Worst of both worlds, fixed one for a guy years ago, (did a lot of my time on VW's, cant get me near one now!) I didn’t even go round the block on it!
    Wish I had now I think about it...
    We all have our little obsessions...

    There as a Trike shop in taupo, so there are always a few there. One of my friends Dad builds them as a hobby, and these things have more then enough power! Got to be carefull not to loop them apparently.

    Hi there, Trike works in taupo is my mother and step father. The trikes are NOT VW trikes. They do not have a car engine in them. The only main bit changed on them is the additional back wheel. They handle just as well as a two wheeled motorbike in the rain and in cornering, if not better. I have seen many two wheeled motorcyclists get rather upset when being overtaken by a trike especially on windy roads. I have riden a trike but just not me. Great for taking alot of shit away with ya tho.
