I dunno.In not too many years I wont be able to hold 2 wheels up so something like this will be a godsend.
I'd still like to give it a fang now.

Big Dave had the girls climbing all over the test bike.Ooohs and aahs,squeals and giggles - it's a chick magnet.

Yeah I'm doing the KR blurb on it - based on eating a very large slice of humble pie.
Don't shoot off trap till you know what you are talking about pie.
I was right about trikes being impractical compared to a motorbike. I simply didn't realise how much fun they were in their own right.

Approach this thing as an exhilarating open wheel sports car and man it's a hoot.

Even the kids were into it.

You love them or hate them. I (we) just love them but it takes approx 800 / 1000 Km to re program your brain. Will probably extend our motor cycle life style by 20 + years.

I reckon they look real good,could see me on one of them when i'm an old fella.

I'm only a measly meager fella .. not strong enough to keep it turning around corners.

I don't regret taking it out, but definitely not for me .. granted the chick magnet factor is awesome tho'

Mrs TA felt she was getting catapulted off the back every time I turned a corner.
Finished that day on an XR1200 .. just to "balance" things out a bit

Poor wee thing. Really whipping it out of a tight corner is a real buzz.

It needs 40-50 pooonds in the rear suspension too. I thought it was a rigid till we pumped it to max. Mucho difference.

This is typical with all 3 wheels and quads.

It isn't about strength it's about technique. You steer by push pull. Becomes instinctive after awhile . Have just finished a weeks ride on ours , was too short by at least a week.
