Has anyone ever driven one of these?

Trirod

or these . . . Spyder

How do they handle and corner?

No, But I heard they handle very well

I guess they subjectively look cool (or not), but I can't for the life of me figure out what possible advantage they have over a two wheel motorcycle. Certainly not their ability to weave between traffic. What niche would these fill?

My dad has the Spyder with all the bells and whistles.
It rocks, but he said if he would have test driven it before he bought it, he would not have bought one.
He says it is uncomfortable and he should have got a Lazy Boy chair trike instead.

I rode it around the block once. Too gay for me.

Test drive it first.

People who like to ride when they are too tipsy to balance a bike?

They had demo's in Sturgis last year. like riding a snowmobile. Not surprising because the co. that builds it is Ski-Doo. Fun buy, give me one less wheel.

Only seen one of those around here. And yeah, I did snap a picture and post it on here. It was last year I think. They seem to be more popular up north around PA, NJ and NY

there's a few of them around here.
They corner well, much better than i thought they would.
Personally i find them UGLY and while i can walk and balance would never own one.
But allah forbid i should ever lose a leg or be incapacitated in some way, I'd consider one.

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?
