just a short story of a few days ago:

we had guests. he is a passionate motorist. "always" rode motorcycles, currently owns and rides a Harley Davidson CVO Street Glide.
I tell him I sold two motorcycles since I have my Morgan Threewheeler. He looks at me with that puzzled look. Then he goes "why would
you buy something with three wheels?"

Err ... *lost* I struggle to answer …. I wasn't prepared for such a question. it took me a few seconds …. but only emptiness. then a few flashes of questions …
"why three wheels? what does he actually want to know? why not four? why not two?"

then I said "you know what? let's go for quick ride." "oh yeah!" he said with excitement. five minutes later we are on the road …. roaring!
laughing! gasping for air! the speed making us squint! upshifting! downshifting and making the best sounds out of the two cylinders exhaling
from the stereo pipes.

on the way back (and this was really just a short/quick ride) he looks at me with a completely happy facial expression and screams at me with a laugh:
"T H I S I S G O I N G T O B E M Y N E X T R I D E !!!!" (this is going to be my next ride)
And I scream back "N O W Y O U K N O W W H Y T H R E E W H E E L S !!!!" (now you know why three wheels)

I haven't regretted a second myself. yes ok, maybe the service costs are a bit expensive, but what the heck! this thing makes everybody happy, be it
the driver/passenger, the people on the streets and sidewalks.

I know exactly, you know what I mean.
in that sense, happy riding :-)
