They were not fun, they were the most ghastly ill conceived vehicle imaginable.
They only existed because of a combination of a purchase tax break and being classed as a motorcycle.
They tipped over at every opportunity.
If they had had two front wheels and one back wheel they would have worked better but would have used more special parts.

Safristi...they wert that bad - just like you know if go 60 KPH around a extremly sharp corner in a SUV its gonna roll - the cars didn't go very fast - flat out 80 KPH - And at 80 they felt like they were flying along - mind had no reverse either.

I had forgotten about the no reverse thing, although I thought that went away in later years...all part of being deemed to be a motorcycle
