Bikes? The three wheeled variety.....need some help

[Fub@r]

Well my parents gave me grief for going to the two wheels......nothing unusual there. But I got a call tonight and they are looking for a trike to do a Billy Connolly style trip around the countryside. Now that was from leftfield.

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

They have a nice Goldwing trike in the motorcycle trader.

also contact Krusti on here.......
His partner has a custom made trike...

[Waylander]

All it needs to be classed (and registerd) as a car from what a trike guy at a toy run told me was seat backs and seat belts. Then you also coulde drive it with no helmet he said.

someone made a VTR SP1 trike too!

Correct terminology or not discussion - I'm moving this to RR as a trike is not a bike and the thread does not belong in General Bike Ravings

[The Pastor]

Trikes are still cool, Esp when you get them up on ONE wheel!

[Fub@r]

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.

At least it wasn't moved to pointless drivel

Wherever I had posted it would've been the wrong place or upset someone depending on their view of a trike. If I offended people by saying bike, I apologise seeing your so sensitive. If I posted in a car forum they would tell me to go to a bike forum, I post in a bike forum and get told its not a bike but a car. Either way I loose.

I thought by posting here with the huge member list there is there would be someone that can point me in the right direction so I could then point my parents in the right direction. And besides a couple of constructive posts I appear to be sadly mistaken. Such a shame

[XTC]

Don't worry about it the mod's just being a dick. She coulda just moved it and left it at that without the one eyed post to go with it. Bad form Joni!

[crashe]

Yep and someone has deleted some of our posts.... which isnt nice.

Gee what a shame I saved them... and no I dont normally save things, but I had a gut feeling.

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

- No Crashe on KB its not debatable... Spank has made that call about trikes....
Edited in afterwards: 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!

Couple thousand trike riders would disagree with you Joni. Me too for that matter.
ASlong as the trike is built off a bike base instead of a cage engine.

A TRIKE IS REALLY A CAR SO WHY NOT RELOCATE IT TO POINTLESS DRIVEL , MIGHT AS WELL RELOCATE ALL YOUR OWN POSTS THERE TO JONI
