Three wheels on my wagon....

- - - Those VW things, as well as the can-am spyder, and all other 3-wheeled vehicles are classed in the same category as our bikes for licensing purposes. You still need a special "motorcycle" driver license to operate one, but until recently, you couldn't get that license on anything but a 2-wheeled vehicle. Now, (here in MO anyway) you can use a Spyder to get your license. Not sure about the other trikes though.
Of course, personal perception may control how individuals "classify" a trike, just like some riders don't consider anything that doesn't say HD on it a real bike...

Hi 'Bug,
I see a problem in getting the motorcycle endorsement on any form of trikie or sidecar rig. How does the tester know if the applicant can even balance a 2-wheeler?
BTW, us REAL bike snobs reckon if you aren't riding a Brough Superior it don't matter what brand of modern trash you ride.

Usually there is special note on the license that states the endorsment is only valid for 3 wheeled motorcycles (sort of like saying you need glasses). They do the same thing with semi-truck licenses if you test with an automatic transmission.
