Trikes are so much more fun

[alienwulf]

Kind of like the chicken or the egg..My Electra Glide was a motorcycle that had a trike kit put on it. Not a trike kit that had a motorcycle added to it. I still say going out on the bike or going to work on the bike. :xzqxz: just color me confused.

We've never been able to break the habit of calling them bikes.

My "motorcycle garage" will not be called by another name in my lifetime.

The egg and the Chicken quandary solved. [According to the gospel by BOB]

The egg came first , Some prehistoric bird type animal laid a egg and out came a mutation, And then someone' A cave-dweller maybe? Named it Chicken...

Bikes vs Trikes

Wikipedia's definition of a bike: "A bicycle, often called a bike or cycle, is a human-powered, pedal-driven, single-<wbr>track vehicle, having two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other."

Wikipedia's definition of a trike: "Depending on the design of the vehicle, motorized trikes may be categorized as motorcycles, motor scooters, or simply the three-wheeled counterpart to a motorized or electric bicycle. The main difference between a motorcycle trike and a scooter trike is that motorcycles are sat on in a "saddle"-style seating (as with a horse), with the legs apart, and motorcycles have manual transmissions."

Sooooooooo, EVERYBODY's correct. Call it a bike or a trike, who cares as long as you are having fun!!!!!!

Harley calls them Trikes..... They build them they ought to know..
When i go out for a ride, And my Wife asks which bike are you taken, If I'm gonna take the Tri-Glide i tell her I'm taken the Trike.. If I'm going to ride the Victory i say I'm taken the Bike.. Just saying...:Shrug:

Correct. I agree with you. I also call my trike a trike, and sometimes I say "my bike" so the wife knows I'm not taking the car(actually a SUV).

Harley calls them Trikes because that's what they are, but they are still motorcycles not cars or trucks or SUV's or even ATV's. They're classified as a motorcycle (I believe in every state). They are not the same as a Slingshot or a T-Rex....not even close.
I will even call (against my will) the Spyder a motorcycle.

The USAF calls their F16 a jet, but it's still an airplane.
The Navy calls one of their ships a Destroyer, but it's still a ship.

Trike/F16/Destroyer are just a category of the main concept.

People can call the TG or Freewheeler whatever makes them feel warm and fuzzy, but they are still MOTORCYCLES. :mob:

I will still refer to post #16 (Yes)

We don't call 2 wheelers a motor bi-cycle and we don't call 3 wheelers a motor tri-cycle. Trike are cycles and have a motor. Therefore.....they are a motorcycle.
