    The Yanks make a leaning Trike. Don't have the link now but it was covered as in cage.

    Getting a redeye from Zed is a badge of honour. Got a couple of them myself.

    Zed's never learnt to turn the other cheek. Think's he'll get gangbanged if he does.

    Tsk,tsk - The Ariel 3,remember them? Pretty forgetable alright.Sounds like Honda got the designs and made the Gyro.I've ridden the earlier version,and also the Gyro with roof and screen,complete with windscreen wiper.The naked one was a hoot,with 2 vertical wheels on the back you could bounce and chatter the rear end around corners while leaning the bike real hard.A good bit of low speed fun.I rode an Ariel 3 back in the day,just a quick spin around the yard,I remember nothing.

    I've ridden several farmquad type things,from the 90's to bouncy wheel 200's - had a few spins around the dirt track on the TYZ250's,with dirt track Hooziers on the back.That's the YZ250 in there,and a pretty scary piece of kit - I knew what I had to do....drop off the inside with my boot hooked on the seat,and lean down looking under the bar,then cross it up under full throttle.Very scary with a peaky YZ motor and sticky Hooziers,that's a shit load of traction to break loose on clay,and if it hooked up you'd be launched into orbit.Not my bike and I damn near flipped it a few times,ending up head first over the side of the tank.

    My experiance of your typical VW trike is limited to a spin up the road and back.They are not set up how I like,I've got a few plans on how I'd do it....and the Trike Works have it nearly perfect.

    Did you have to mention the Ariel 3. I've spent the last 20 years ernestly trying to forget it, or, better yet, pretend it never existed. Was a time Ariel was a proud name. Could not BSA have let it die with dignity.

    I haven't read this whole thread so someone may have pointed this out already but:
    'BI' as in 'BI ke' means 'TWO' (wheels)
    'TRI' as in 'TRI ke' means 'THREE' (wheels)

    So to me a 'trike' cannot be a 'bike' because by definition a bike must only have two wheels. However, if some people class trikes as bikes that's their opinion and it's no skin off my nose.

    Re this whole bike/trike thing

    To me whats intersting, is not if a bikes a trike or whatever, but the way in which it has been discussed, its the the normal attack mode and abuse or move the thread thing !

    Is it really that big a deal ?

    my own fault really.
