You should call them what they are: Trikes.
"Three-wheel motorcycle" is an oxymoron unless you're speaking of a
motorcycle with a side-car (which the article doesn't cover).

"Baloney"? Well, you could be right.
Maybe the idiot *has* ridden in California and is just deaf, dumb, blind,
and a pinball wizard.
Otherwise, no.

I've always wondered about handling. I can't imagine trying to corner hard
on one.
Seems like car tires all around would work - no more leaning - or
countersteering. Can you say 'high side'?
Is it coincidence that so many have extended forks, or does it improve
handling?

Piaggio MP3.
A mechanic at the local beemer shop has one
and I was impressed with it's agility.
The advertising portion of the video stinks but the
scooter is actually worth watching.
I'd still like to have a Morgan 3 wheeler too and
maybe a sidehack to keep it company.
