And why are trikes still legal on street, but 3-wheel ATC's were outlawed. I just don't get it.

If ya can't tell, I'm a 3 wheeler advocate. I'd love to get my hands on a Honda 350X in decent shape.
cause the major issue with 3 wheelers was going down a hill and crank'n on the handle bars one way or the other... it'd roll... really easy. people tend to be a bit more cautious on the street... and not often do you have a sharp 90* corner mid hill... if you do on the street they're usually banked a bit.

but you're in ND... so I understand you not knowing about hills and such...
