Interesting.  Those things have been around for years but they're finally getting some attention now.

Not bad actually.  Catches a bit more wind than I expected.  Takes some getting used to compared to a 2 wheeler.

Very nice.

I've been seeing more and more of them on the road. Our highways are popular for people riding from Las Vegas to Death Valley.

This bike reminds me of a fork lifter.  I have seen ads for them and they do look like fun.  How does it corner, is there a need to bend with the corner  ?

Ha - got ya!  :thatsright:.  I am used to a 4-wheel ATV these days and haven't had a motorcycle in years.  Just wondering how differently they drive/ride from a 3-wheeler.   Like in cornering.

I imagine there's a bit of oversteer.

I have never driven a 4 wheel ATV, but on the 3-wheeler, you still have to lean when cornering, just not just as much as a 2 wheeler IMO.
