BIKE vs TRIKE!!!
Re: BIKE vs TRIKE!!!
Mmmmm - interesting one...
I used to do both - Now I only fly, recently sold my BMW1200RT and boy do I miss her
Compare riding my RT in Hazyview on those twisties vs flying my trike over the bushveld early in the morning..... I can't really say which is better - They are both downright awesome
Try and have both, but if you HAVE to choose - Trikes are probably safer (my humble opinion of course)

Yes bikes can also fly. But usually after such an event you might need this

Re: BIKE vs TRIKE!!!
Go for the trike! Trust me nothing like a couple of weeks in ICU to cure that bike feeling for a couple of months at the very least! Ek raai nie
I'm missing my bike daily but the hell I put the family through negates all the fun
Fly boytjie fly.....

Re: BIKE vs TRIKE!!!
Bike for daily commuting, trike for weekend fun and joy. Both have their place.
Re: BIKE vs TRIKE!!!
I am lucky enough to have both and must admit love them equally, would not want to choose. But you had the bike so now go for wings, can always get a bike again.
Flying feeds the soul!

Re: BIKE vs TRIKE!!!
If it's going to be a bike ask Thatchman to give you some tips
But make sure it's a PUZEY

What worries me is the small things Thatch likes to play with????


Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory - Flying is making moments, memories

Re: BIKE vs TRIKE!!!
Hi Emiel;
why can't you have both...? Buy an old bike which is in good condition... that is what I have done, however, having said that I don't have my Plane yet... the reason I bought the bike is because she only cost me R8k.... so that was easy, can't find a decent Plane for that amount otherwise I'd buy her too...
A boer maak a plan.... right?...
take care...

Re: BIKE vs TRIKE!!!
Take your time you will do both just decide which you want first! if you don't already have a license for a trike just know you are in for a few rand's there as well

For someone suffering from an incurable disease..... yes it is normal. We are all infected with this disease I'm afraid.Emiel Thysse wrote: At the moment Im eating ,sleeping and breathing trikes!!!! Difficult to concentrate on anything else!!! IS THIS NORMAL?????![]()

Once the bug has bitten, there is no way to stop it.
