I saw a single passenger three wheeled contraption in Great Falls back in September of 2001, and it even had a six disc CD changer built into the enclosed dash.

Yes, they are "hardcore bikers". Notice none of the "badass" biker gangs
never seem to have a confrontation with them? If you act like a "badass"
in front of these guys they'll laugh their asses off. Between them they
have more combat experience that all the "badass" groups combined. They
are also more likely to have a CCW than the wannabe's. Push them hard
enough and they'll tell the Westboro Baptist Church to go to Hell and
get their point across. Fags stay away from them too. :)

I saw a "badass" biker flick a cigarette at the head at one of them American Legion bikers once.
American Legion guy turned real quick-like and caught it in his mouth, lit a match against his belt buckle and fired it up. Then he flipped it back to the "badass," who fumbled and dropped it.
"Cigarettes are bad for you, son," he said. "Make you die before your time."
"Yes, sir. You're right, sir," said the "badass" as he scurried away.
Then the American Legion guy pulled off his sunglasses. His eye sockets, where his eyes had formerly been, were two scarred craters of pinkish flesh. His face cracked in a grin and he began to laugh like an albino gorilla.

I only hate Can-Ams because they take up two spots in the motorcycle parking area outside my building but I hate the little scooters too because they just shouldn't fucking be there...they can park on the goddamn sidewalk. I've seen the Piaggio MP3 and that thing looks nice in person, probably handles pretty well but just seems a little odd. I think it's the really tall and really thin thing, I don't know. The T-Rex is fucking awesome and I'd love to have one.

I wouldn't even call these 3-wheeled imposters "trikes." Visually and aesthetically, these 3-wheelers are just wrong. A REAL trike has two wheels IN THE BACK and one in the front. Old VW Beetle powered trikes are still the gold standard in trikes, IMHO.
The ONLY people who buy these 3-wheel imposters are geeks who want to bloviate how the Center of Gravity of a Can-Am is safer and more stable than a traditional trike. True but, only fags and techno-dorks care that much to buy something so fucking ugly and for such a narrow reason. And then you have all these old farts who buy mega-dollar highway cruiser bikes and then stick embellished TRAINING WHEELS on them... that never come off! I won't wave to Can-Am's or bikes with training wheels.
Morphing these 3-wheelers into semi-enclosed passenger cars is just gay.

Who cares if you wave to someone. So many hot shots thinking they define cool. Big deal, you are riding a harley. Where is your horse. Only cool people ride horses not fucking harleys. One thing i like about these is there are 2 headlights so if a car is on-coming, it at least has a better chance of seeing you instead of running your ass over and making you an ink spot on the road. There is a safety issue too but i wont waste my breath on future ink spots trying to convince them. Ride on hot shots!

Great experience but, you need a lot of upper-body strength to control your TRIKE.
And yes, lifting weights does help alot. However, consult your local doctor before pursuing any kind of new exercise program.
Happy Highways!

I realize this is an "ancient aliens" thread, and pointless to even post at this tine, but it made me laugh, calling us Spyder Ryder's fags and fogeys.
The funniest thing about our Spyder's, is that we would leave you in our dust...
Try keeping up to one, out on the road some time, then we will see who the fags and fogeys are... ;-)
We'll be seeing you, in our rear view mirrors...
I will post one pic, that looks like it belonged to Liberace himself. Hahaha

I say ride your own ride. Don't worry about anybody else. Help everyone who needs it, it may (will) be you one day. Wave at who you want, I'll wave at all non-cagers (and all cagers that wave at me), if you don't wanna wave back, well, I guess you're better than me. But I ride my own ride.
