: You into trikes too, Bill. :D
: The impossibility of falling over only works well at low speeds. Or stopped

: Trikes, bikes and kayaks. Personal craft that are the funnest.

Hi Mike,

I still don't have a trike, I do have an old R40 USS Vision that I enjoy. One of these years I'll upgrade to a tadpole trike. Not looked at them in a couple years so I'd have to try a few to see what I'd like. Actually sounds like fun, maybe in the spring.

The R40's a VERY quick handling bike, wheelbase is like 38" and as I get older my reflexes at times have trouble keeping up with it, might be time to upgrade.
