So then I started looking at those three-wheeled Can-Am things, but I remembered they're super lame so abandoned that.

I disagree, and think most motorcyles are dumb looking.

Things like that are just out of your control, and just plain life threatening, whereas in a vehicle you'd be annoyed with some car repairs and likely unscathed as a person.

I try to stay off Deerfoot, congestion at high speed, holds too much risk on a bike.
It's why I try to have lots of off-road/backcountry adventures on mine (60/40 rubber), away from all the chaos.
