Advantage of Three Wheels Over Two Wheels

[Jack Klarich]

After breaking my back a second time I was bound to keep riding

Thanks to my wife telling me to buy a trike, we stay in the wind

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....

Re: #6....."Laying it down" ….. I rode MCs starting in early '70s, never did I view intentionally crashing as a viable option to avoid a crash. In fact, I never considered "Laying it down" even before then when on my bicycles.

As to additions to the list, I'll add "easier to just pull over almost anywhere out of traffic way for thoe photos along the way".

Watch out for gas pump islands.

Recall one of my stepbrothers boasting once when he laid his Triumph down because a car pulled out … like he did good. Then I noted the road rash, the limp, and the bike that was then trashed. "Didn't you brake?" I asked, he said the rear wheel just skidded. I asked about the front, he said he didn't want to go over the handle bars? His Triumph had a conical (comical we called them) drum brake, not sure it would even squeal a tire.

This was some time long after he streaked through the new McDonalds on a Rickman 250 on the hind wheel, wearing boots & helmet.

It was a dare. :laugh:

Oh. I'm eternally thankful he survived into full adulthood, but he did love to push the envelope.:Shrug:
