Now that's a proper trike - !

First time I rode one I went straight on at the first corner.

Indeed. There is a small element of bikers who look down their noses at anyone riding a slick road bike worth less than 5k. - !being looked down on by people on sporting bikes
Maybe the OP is confusing being looked down on by people on sporting bikes
I get a crick in my neck...As a recumbent rider I look up to other riders.

Is this a wind-up?? So much weird schoot on wheels these days, you never know ...I'm a racer boy through and through, albeit in retirement (with a comeback imminent, any decade now) but I still love me a good 'bent downhill race. I attend the 'Bent Downhill World Championship at Fort William each time it comes there.
Cross Country Trike Racing is also on the rise, will be an Olympic sport soon, I bet.
I always say, it's not about the bike.

I wholly concur !
Cyclist subconsciously automatically balance 2 wheels, the 'gyro' effect keeps it balanced and moving forward.
The 3 rd wheel upsets this autonomic response, with the centre of gravity up high perched on the saddle.
Bring that down and sit within the footprint of a recumbent ,then you have a far more stable machine.
But even then ,you can upset a recumbent trike, I 've done that twice in 30+ yrs, once at high speed, and once amusingly at low speed, on a and new trike.
Even recumbent trikes ,you my never master the art of riding 3 wheels, always the trike will try and throw you off.
