Has anyone tried one?

They do look like a hoot but not quite sure if they'd quite live up to practicality of everyday usage...
however a 1000cc engine on a car licence does sound like fun

(don't worry i'm in progress of sorting my DAS)

It sits with a certain group of people quite nicely, but for most I think it misses the point. Riding a trike works for disabled riders or riders who can no longer get their leg over a manual or through a scooters tunnel, or if you just like them. It's good comfort riding. But I can't help feeling that people who 'just like them' are afraid of the 'dangers' of being on two wheels but want to feel the wind through their hair.

You just can't filter on them like any trike so to have 'a hoot on it' means your stuck in traffic with the rest of the cagers. Where's the fun in that?

Having said that I'd have a Campagna T-Rex.

I know two people with them, one has one as they have an ear issue so has ballance issues, the other had a bad bike crash last year but hates cars.

Both say they are cracking bits of kit and can get them sliding for fun. Im also sure they come with tcs though
