Acceptable reasons to ride a trike???

They are not for me but to each their own.

The only reasons I see are if you have a disability or are just too old (whatever that is) to ride a motorcycle.

If I get to that point...I'll just cage in in a vert I guess.

I will never forget listening to Dr. Laura explaining her reasons for having a trike and not a motorcycle.
At one point in her life she had a Honda Rebel. From what she said it was obvious she was very inexperienced. She hit some gravel and crashed. So now she has a trike because it's 'safer.'

Other than not falling over on their own, there is nothing safer about a trike from what I can see, you are still exposed to the elements. If she had learned how to ride the damn motorcycle in the first place she probably would not have crashed. Just another example of how people justify things in their minds rather than accepting the responsibility that they screwed up.

What I find most shocking about this is that anyone actually listens to Dr. Laura.

Oh I listened to her at one point in desperation looking for anything to help my marriage. Didn't help either!

I would never drive a trike. When I get that old I will buy a sports car!!
