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

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 :shock: I'm missing my bike daily but the hell I put the family through negates all the fun :oops: :? Fly boytjie fly.....

Bike for daily commuting, trike for weekend fun and joy. Both have their place.

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.

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...

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.

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