A Trike That Doesn't Suck
OK, first off, this was written by Zack Klapman, from our partner site The Smoking Tire. I know the tone is a bit inflammatory, but I also know the only way to *really* get any of the HDF members mad is to bring up water cooling... And this is a really cool story. So let me know what you think!

Three wheels have an inherent issue with turning stability

all trikes suck. if you are too old or feeble to ride a motorcycle...get a sidecar. at least people will think you were a rider at some point in your life.

Up yours.
My only satisfaction is that if you live long enough, some day you'll be using a walker, too.
:-)
In my case, I went with a trike because my wife can't do too much and the trike is a lot easier for her than the bike was. She's a lung cancer survivor and has emphysema. With the trike, she doesn't have to get off while I change her oxygen.
In the meantime, I won't rag on whatever you chose to ride or drive or who you marry, and you can return the favor.

+1 Don't want to think about giving up two wheels but if it comes to that I will get a trike before I bolt on a sidecar, they aren't all that easy to ride. But then again if I had known I was gonna live this long, maybe I'd of taken better care of myself.

I have four friends that ride trikes and they all ride them for physical reasons. It would suck a lot more if they could not ride at all.
God Bless and enjoy the ride!
P.S. That is a sweet rear end kit, I like that a lot.
