I've seen some of those riding around Newcastle, I suppose they're a trike of sorts.

Calling them a "trike of sorts" is like calling a vespa a motorcycle....

Bizarre things those CANAM Spyders. I'm not sure what to make of them really. Screams out for an axle and two rear tyres if you ask me.

I've never ridden one, but I'm guessing they're be tuned for understeer and limited in power oversteer department.

Trike riders used to turning their machines with the throttle would possibly find the experience a little dull?

Definition of trike , meaning of trike , Trike - 1 tricycle, trike, velocipede a vehicle with three wheels that is moved by foot pedals.

So now it doesn't qualify, but neither do most of ouirs for that matter.

I have ridden one and they are very hard to get used to on the road, one problem I found was that you couldn't just zip around or up the inside of a car because you are a lot wider.

The one of those that I rode some time back and is a few years old I had to go and pick up in a trailer yesterday.
He was on his way to a bike run and the steering unit "profanity removed" itself.
So much for modern tecnology.

He still had steering but it was extremely heavy, you would have had to have been superman to ride it any distance.
