I will never forget listening to Dr. Laura explaining her reasons for having a trike and not a motorcycle.
At one point in her life she had a Honda Rebel. From what she said it was obvious she was very inexperienced. She hit some gravel and crashed. So now she has a trike because it's 'safer.'
Other than not falling over on their own, there is nothing safer about a trike from what I can see, you are still exposed to the elements. If she had learned how to ride the damn motorcycle in the first place she probably would not have crashed. Just another example of how people justify things in their minds rather than accepting the responsibility that they screwed up.
