That was pretty interesting, Gordie! I enjoyed going through the pictures and descriptions and seeing the 2013(?) at the end. I've always like the looks of that car and according to Jay Leno... it's a great car to drive. But as one commentator pointed out, they omitted a rather obvious Canadian 3-wheeler... the Can Am Spyder! 2013 Morgan  Spyder

I think that might be 'cause word is Alex Trebek, Bill Shatner and Michael J. Fox all sold the ones they had, Keith!
(...though word ALSO is Celine Dion has been thinking of purchasing one lately!)

And now...I ALSO have to say that the guy also missed mentioning the Trihawk, a 3-Wheeler that according to a few road tests I remember reading a few decades ago in some car and/or motorcycle magazines back then stated was just about the most stable handling vehicle they had ever tested...due primarily to its configuration of having the two forward wheels being the powered ones. AS compared to the Reliant Robin, a vehicle which a certain Mr. Jeremy Clarkson will demonstrate here "isn't exactly" on a par with the Trihawk in this regard... (...btw, I LOVE this video...it's just about the funniest thing I've seen in years...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQh56geU0X8

That is very, very funny indeed! I love how they staged the crash(s) at the end while they were doing the news story!  "I'm getting used to it now, thanks." Good humour! I couldn't help but notice the "Jeremy drives the smallest car in the world" video off on the sidebar which is also a very funny segment!

Moto Guzzi made several 3 wheel trucks and military vehicles I didn't see there.

I see a lot of spyders on the road here. They are made in Quebec and you do not need an MC license or training to ride one *gulp*.

In NC you can test for your MC license on (in?) a Spyder. Those things are bigger than some of the cars I've owned.

Speakin' of the Can Am Spyders...
A couple weeks back I was riding over my "personal little racetrack", otherwise known as White Spar Pass on AZ Hwy-89, and this guy on one of those came up on me while I had slowed down a bit where there is sometimes a cop stationed along an overlook in these mountains, and this guy was flyin' on that thing and passed me. And so, seeing no cop there, I kinda took off after this guy in order to watch him ride it.
I had no idea those Spyders could handle the twisties as well as this guy was takin' 'em. We're talkin' almost "GSX-R fast" here.

Yep. That new R3 of yours will be a whole lot more fun on that road than that (expletive deleted) Softtail you rented, alright! Btw, have you given any more thought about what I said regarding that possible peg/control trade with those guys on the R3 forum?

Oh sure, but I'm going to try it out next year with my new heel-less (heel-free?) shifter and see if that's enough.

I watched a documentary that show cased this once. I think its cool.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
