Never saw one before, thought I'd post it up..
Magna Trike (http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/mcy/4771508315.html)
Interesting.
With four wheels can it be called a "trike"??
Do all three rear wheels touch the ground? Looks like a lot of tire scrubbing on turns. Then again, maybe you can't actually turn it.
I have always been afraid of trikes, because they are inherently unstable in a turn. If one turns too sharply, a high side flip occurs.
Two front wheels and one trailing is an entirely different device.
Most of the fun of a motorcycle to me is involved in the "art of the turn". All these gizmos with more wheels leave me cold.

With Bad legs or back or even a missing leg, do you give up riding all together or look for alternatives?
It may not be the same, but it may be better than not riding at all...
Good point, Harry. Everyone must make their own choices. I think if I find myself in the condition you describe, (which could well happen!) I would opt for a sports car or convertible. Could still feel the open air and get the great view, but with a safer ride.

Couldn't agree more.
