Advantage of Three Wheels Over Two Wheels

[mgwtrike]

Can anyone add to this list?

I'm creating a list for my two wheel riding friends some great reason's to convert to three wheels.

#1.....One word: Stability, especially riding two up.
#2.....No more stomping the blacktop every time you come to a stop.
#3.....You got a 85% chance of staying up-right in a minor crash.
#4.....Passengers feel secure, (see #1).
#5.....No need for side and center stands.
#6....."Laying it down" at critical times is not a option.
#7.....You have a better recovery chance if you blow a tire at highway speeds.

#8....

Because I "look" cool on my trike! And I "feel" cool on my trike. Therefore, I "am" cool on my trike!

Because it makes mama happy..and when mama is happy, everybody is happy.

Much, much, much easier to park on the side of a hill.

A Trike has a much ​LARGER presents on the road. Which should make us easier to be seen by other drivers. Plus a Trike has more lights in the rear, which also should make us easier to be seen, especially at night.

A Trike (or most of them) have a REVERSE, which makes backing out of a garage, down a driveway or out of a parking space easier and safer. We don't have to rely on our legs to hold the bike (2-wheeler) up while also trying to move it backwards.

Riding a Trike is simply great......It's like sex on a cracker!

It's allowed me the ability to ride again, when I thought I'd have to give it up.

I'm sure I have....I used to snack on cheese crackers and watch TV in bed at night, Just couldn't account for every cracker until later....Crunch, crunch, crunch,......What the Hell....:Shrug::kpzxvq:

You don't have to worry about dropping your bike when you run over squirrels. You just run 'em over!

Any issues with premature detonation?

If you are having to still and wait on something/someone for a while - a trike is a comfortable, level seat as opposed to trying to sit comfortably on a "slant" - like a 2-wheeler rests on the kickstand.

 

[Shimpy]

Rear tires and brakes last almost forever. I've got over 30,000 on my Champion S/A kit and the tires look almost new and the trike tech said the brakes have over 60% left.

:Agree: Trikes are much nicer than bikes,when you get caught in stop-n-go traffic.

Cool is the rule!

Prior to me buying a Tri-Glide I had very little experience with motorcycles, and what little experience I had was over 30 years ago on 400cc or under Jap bikes.

I wanted the stability of a Trike because I have two newly implanted Ti hips, and did not like the thought of me trying to back a nearly 1000 pound 2-wheel motor cycle out of the garage and down the driveway on my 65 year old legs.

At first I wanted a Can-Am RT, because I thought that the HD Tri-Glide looked like a giant Hoverround....one of those little electric 3 or 4 wheeled mobility assist devices that old farts poke around on. Then they came out with the Freewheeler, my dream come true. Stability of three wheels and a Hot Rod look.

But the more that I compared the Tri-Glide to the Freewheeler, the more I started leaning toward the TG.

It has a fairing and windshield for long ride comfort and protection.

It has over 3 times the storage capacity, and the Infotainment center and touch screen is a big bonus.

Before I bought the Trike I had thought about removing the Tour-Pak because to me that was what screamed 'old mans bike' the most. But now after just 4 months the Tour-Pak is the most beloved feature. It is like a comfortable pair of old slippers, and I use it every time that I ride whether it is just around the corner to the hardware store or on a multi state long distance ride. And that back seat 'could' be a real CHICK magnet A fella can dream.

To me, the Tri-Glide is like the Cadillac Escalade of motorcycles.

one of the biggest advantages of riding a trike is mamma can move around all she wants to take photos and never bother me. I really love that. On 2 wheels we look like drunks sometimes as she is reluctant to tell me she is going to move around for what ever reason.
Safer, you bet ya.

Rode 2 wheels for 60+ years but developed Parkinson's a couple years ago. With Parkinson's you loose your balance easily and get fatigued very fast. Totally unable to ride on 2 wheels. I reverted to 3 to continue riding. The three wheelers are a God sent for person like me.

Many are more worried about the image when riding on 3 vs 2. Most have never even been on 3. My comment "DON"T KNOCK IT UNTIL YOU TRY IT" Been on a Harley 3 wheeler since 2009 and over 130k miles. I can still ride 2 but I would rather be on 3.
