No not if you have background enough to see the differences of 3 wheel arrangements. Don't know how to classify this pictured 3 wheeler above, but it ain't a traffic maid - ice cream vendor rear wheeled trike.
I risk death and injury each easy trip out with deer tracers any time and place.
They average 35-40 mph side impacts I think most 3 wheelers could take w/o tipping over, just knocked off road or pilot out of saddle but able to pick up and ride again after pilot and deer blood-guts-brains out of your eyes.
Got any idea how hard being hit by 5-6 medicine balls mass combined with you own speed. I've rather be hit by 12 ga as minor impact or fast painless death.
If you don't ask your self on each ride if this is a good day to die then you ain't living the full scope of cycling life I do but remain ignorant of what's always lurking. My innocence is long ago killed off with a number of big dead beasts and almost me too.
What's in back of my mind is I'll end up with components for two rather peppy engines, one the remains of past 750 Peel's 600 cc sportbike spanker and her almost finished 920 boosted torque monster. 750 Peel didn't need extra power to spank anything up to 100 in tight dangerous sections, only to stay ahead in the opens. So may not like the excessive power in a lightened daily use bike.
So I may put back half-750Combat accidental engine in Peel and put the 920 in a low 2 front wheel Deer Dlayer with swords and cross cut saw blades and wicked serrated edge plow heads and blood- gut- grit -bug shields in front of camera and eyes.
This is identical flavor to Ozark Mt rides and type side car action I'd seek.

This is more what I had in mind as type of flavor but rather meaner frontal section with lowered height to get under deer better in better handling powered drifts. A backed up flesh bone air slicer vertical as sighting device of course.
I'd have no more fear of side shots by deer lances, as would never be slow enough they could touch be from the sides or even leaping down from bluffs!!

Alas my most advanced plans for taking on race records in most technical tracks is this one - that a 1940's 45 cid Harley rider clued me in on for Ultimate Cornering Device he take on angry sports rides drifting past them sparking frame rails with his hands folded in his lap just to rub it in. Cargo loads will only help not hinder!

I know I'm racing towards death so seek best trip to the end, how 'bout yo'all?
