[QUOTE="k7lvo, post: 442416, member: 756"] Some observations: I would compare the reaction to a trike lifting a rear wheel with a car in a skid: In both situations, you countersteer, also called "steering into the skid" in a car. The 3-wheelers of decades past killed a lot of children because, while it takes some size, maturity, and skill to ride a 2-wheeler, a very small/young child can climb on a 3-wheeler and twist the throttle. A friend of mine rides a California Sidecar GW trike and he can flat handle that machine! He can, indeed, walk away from most of the two-wheeled Wings (and even some of the "sportier" bikes) in the twisties. And they always make him lead on the first rides of spring or if they think there may be gravel on the road. <_< Some people switch to trikes when it's time for them to stop riding two wheels; some people switch to trikes when they should really be switching to the passenger seat...
