So, I thought I would start a thread on bikes. The first bikes are going to be a little unconventional... Thoughts, everyone?

With the exception of one they all appear to be fairly good quality Trike conversions (proper motorcycle converted to 3 wheeler) They are nice enough. With this look I prefer the 'less plastic' look with the engine and headlight being the main focal point at the front. I do rather like the black one.

I don't know why, it just appeals to me. Trikes seem to be getting more popular, it seems...

They don't require quite the same skills as a motorcyle and they can carry more. I'm not a great fan if I'm honest but I don't mind appreciating good examples - even if I'd never ride them.

If only so I can stop the dratted thing, without falling over... Size is everything, to me. Why I love my bike so much: the frame size is just perfect for me.

I'm sure you'd find one on google somewhere for reference. It has a low seat height and isn't that wide.

Do not want.

Can we go and take one, slap machine guns on, and start filming a new SF series?

I think this might be a poser's bike, to be honest... It looks like you cruise around on it pointlessly, proving that you have a big motorcycle that is expensive and rather pointless...

It's a motorcycle for people who can't ride a motorcycle. Proper bikers would have a conventional trike conversion but this is a purpose build machine to do... what exactly? As I mentioned - it's too large to be a motorcycle, you can't filter on it and it needs the same size parking space as a car but it's too small to have decent storage and a Mini would have better weather protection. It's kind of like the worst of both worlds.

Strangely enough I think it would suit you better than a car - if only because you've never driven but you have ridden extensively. So kind of yes. Just... not one of those. You'd look like you were on your way to a cosplay convention.

The ONLY time I will take those words back is if you buy a bright white one and wear any of the following:

An Ewok outfit
An Imperial Scout outfit
Darth Vader costume
Yoda outfit

If however you wear the Yoda outfit you are required to look around you every time you are stopped at traffic and - if there are any people within 20 feet - say in a loud voice "Jealous you are Hmmmm?"
