Another twist on three wheels

[OldDog]

I stopped at Micky D's this morning for some biscuits and gravy. A a guy pulled in beside me on a Bergman 650 trike. I struck up a conversation with him. He said the conversion is a Topak (SP). I asked him how he liked it. He said it doesn't handle the curves very well and was somewhat hard to steer. I brought up the Spyder to him. He said he had test ridden one at ASK in Grove City. He said he liked them but thought they were too expensive for
him.

Cute... but you DO get what you pay for in this game!

and a "traditional" trike is pretty unstable to boot! Hence the difficult cornering and steering.

I believe the right spelling is "Tow-Pac". I rode a GL 1200 and a GL1500 (Gold Wings) with them. Did not like them.
I have also heard (truth unknown) that some police have stopped these for license plate violations. In Ohio, any two or three wheel vehicle is a motorcycle. these have four on the ground.
Cheaper yes, Spyder a lot safer, Yes.

It's actually got 4 wheels! like training wheels on a bicycle

I wonder how it gets by as a 3 wheel vehicle with state laws?

The Voyager kits also have you on top of a four-wheeled, three-wheeler!

Licenses varies from each states. Again you get what you pay for.
