No problem bro, it can get a bit hectic in here at times, get up to go pop a squat because its slow and come back to 23 pages in 5 minutes! LOL I just blame the weed... :headbang:

where do you think I am half the time I’m in here? :haha::rofl::rofl::rofl: I would never catch up just sayin :yeah::gassy:
 
I'm think I understand. Part of the appeal of two wheels is the complex three dimensional link with the bike. The subtlety and complexity of bike control is in a way similar to the appeal of skiing, there is a sense of connection and focus that puts you firmly in the moment. The enterprise of smooth control, leaning just the right amount through every turn is a kind of ballet. Adding the third wheel removes the ballet part. Find a kid that would go back to a trike or training wheels, and you'll have someone who would buy three wheels while two was still doable.. :biggrin:
It's all of that and more. It's gonna be a bummer switching from that even to a trike. But atleast with trikes there's a long history of all the old servi cars that still to me just look drop dead gorgeous and very much still a bike (albeit they turn like a snowmobile lol). These things I've looked at since I was a kid and even back then I thought wow I'd love to own that. There's a lot of beauty to them to my eye. I just don't see it in the new Can Am type models.
Not to take away from how a Can Am might handle but ..
If someone walked up and said I could have a 57 Chevy nomad or a Subaru WRX I'd take that nomad all day long.

The biggest difference I found between the can am and a conventional trike is the fact the steering is entirely different feeling, the conventional trike still utilizes counter steering to initiate the turn. The can am's steering is a hybrid of car and cycle, turn the bars into the turn and you lean. Takes a bit to get used to but on a wet parking lot it is a hoot to play with, it is a toy like those ice racing go karts!
 
Oh lord of all the random places... that's where my grandpa's whole family settled after immigrating through back in the day when E-J was importing Slavs for their workforce
I guess it really is a small world as the old saying goes, LOL. I am a bit over 60 miles due east of there in the Catskill Mtns.
