Is a trike a bike? NO!

**SpankMe** · 27th August 2006, 21:13

The thread was just filed in the appropriate place so stop ya winging.

A scooter is more of a bike than a trike. A trike is neither a bike, nor a cage, it's a completely different category.

Wonna talk about trikes?

thread now split into it's own discussion.

Wiki knows all and is wise.

A motorcycle is a two-wheeled vehicle powered by an engine.

Few things I want to try and find out is at what point does a trike get classed as a car? What are the going prices for these types of things etc.

Any info would be good

TRIKES ARE FOR LOSERS, TELL THEM TO GET A MOTOR HOME AND ACT THEIR FUCKEN AGE

Your only as old as you feel and maybe you should tell the Ulysses club that as well, trade in their Harleys etc and get a motorhome

Regardless of motor, a trike is and never will be a bike.

Hence the title of the thread "bike?"

I would rather not see this turn in to a "correct terminology" thread.

So if you want to tell my parents to act their age, bang on about terminology etc I would appreciated it if you would make your own thread.

As for them acting their age, they have slogged their guts out all their lives to get what they have, both of them have had close calls death wise due to the incompetent medical system we have and they have decided its time to enjoy life. I say good on them!

So once again any constructive info about trikes would be appreciated

Well said, too many people have an opinion that sucks, all I say is each to their own

Joni - that is debateable.....
as some are registered as BIKES and some are registered as cars.
Depending on how they are made etc.....

No its not debatable. A bike is classed as a 2 wheeled vehicle. A trike falls outside that.

Back on topis.

**Joni** · 28th August 2006, 10:26

No Crashe on KB its not debatable... Spank has made that call about trikes....

BTW Fub@r if you use the search function you will find a handfull of threads about this subject - Im sure that will be of help to you.

cool more heavy handed modding....... I really dont see the point over something this anal!?

Does it save money? I doubt
Does it save space? I doubt
Does it annoy people? yes

OK, next time I will just move it and not say a word... would that annoy you more?

Heavy handed Modding would be I move it and I infringe the user... he is fairly new, so I just let him know what has been done... so that is does stay fair... nothing hectic, nothing anal, just along the guidelines Spank has set.

Now please keep this poor mans thread on topic!

So we can have long boring repetitious threads about who waves or doesn't wave to whom in General Bike Ravings, but when a biker, who actually owns and rides a bike, comes and asks a sensible question as to the status of trikes (which can be registered as bikes) the thread gets moved to Rant and Rave!?

Irony.
