A trike is still "in the wind", but I'd rather drive a convertible cage.
Trike's handling is completely different... they certainly are not canyon carvers, even the Goldwings.
Their construction is split-personality. The front end wants to countersteer, but the rear end won't allow it, so you are forced to steer it like a cage.
This results in understeer and higher front tire wear.

If I am ever unable to ride on 2 wheels, I'll build one of the big "classic" 60s style trikes using a VW, Porche, or Corvair rear section.
