LOL, that car reminds me of this:

If he was blind and had a broken tail he would earn the moniker "Lucky"

OMG .....best laughs I've had in many days...

So i guess a triked out Harley or goldwing is a no.

Or any bike that carries a sidecar.

Me personally think they are cool looking. And if not able to get my feet on the ground from a motorcycle, this might be another option

Nice!

On the topic of three-wheelers, when we were at the Isle of Man, we saw a few of these running around:

Peel P50

The peel was feeling left out without an appropriate video.

While I have no interest in any of the newer 3-wheeled contraptions, I do have a soft spot for the Canadian-made Campagna T-Rex. Maybe because I was in awe the first time I saw one in Montreal when they first came out - it was such a cool concept to have a tiny, lightweight "car" powered by a GSX-R 1100 motor and retaining the sequential transmission. I believe the 3-wheel design was the result of relying on the chain drive and swingarm suspension. Don't know if they were the first to do something like that, but the execution was pretty damn cool.

Talk about compact:

That was quite hilarious too. "Top speed depends on how much you had for breakfast"

I like that people can just pick you up, spin you around and generally screw with you and there is nothing you can do about it.

Vive la Canada! Something about Leno bugs me but nice to see he helped with promotion.

If you're sitting in a cage and in a vehicle that doesn't lean, then I don't see why a three-wheeler is any better than a four-wheeler.

A four-wheeler has only two tracks, instead of three, so it can avoid road debris better. More contact patches as well for grip while cornering and braking.

If it had to be a lightweight, open-cockpit racer, then this one would tick off all the boxes for me:

In a arms race a x-bow trumps a slingshot unless you are some biblical dude named David JS.
