Not Really Riding? - Page 4 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Well, you'd be right about that. I'm a intellectual introvert, so I have strong opinions but tend to only share them where I'm comfortable. This is a pretty comfortable place for two reasons... partial anonymity and good (internet) friends. Sometimes it gets too comfortable and I {talk} too much.

We have an older couple that rides w/ us on a GW tryke, and usually leads the group. He has headlights like a freight train on that thing, cagers know we are approaching. I personally don't think 3 wheelers are real motorcycles, to me, a M/C has 2 wheels, but the riders enjoy the same benefits we do, they still have handlebars and are exposed to the elements. He rides one because he physically can't pick up a downed bike, and refuses to ride anything he can't pick up. His wife will ride on the GW, but not a M/C since she was in a bad wreck w/ her previous husband, who died from the result of that wreck. She feels comfortable on the tryke. So here is good folks that might otherwise not be able to enjoy the open road in something besides a car. Besides, he has plenty of trunk room for our helmets and jackets.
