Congratulations on the switch to 3 wheels.
That's a very nice looking ride.
A lot of us are in that same club, with too many health and/or muscular issues to safely ride on 2 anymore.

Congratulations on your new ride! I have many physical issues and when the time comes I will ride a trike myself. No apologies necessary brother glad you're out riding

Make no mistake they are different you drive them not really ride it. There is a learning curve if you have ridden a ATV which most have it comes quickly. However you will probably have to get used to your bride or such proding you to get it out of the barn and get in the wind (tuff job but someone has to suffer). It makes for great bargaining conversations ya-kno! My bride and i love ours but remember it is a Harley and quickly becomes a member of the family ride safely fearless

Make no mistake though,you don't have to be old or physically challenged to enjoy a trike. So many people think that and it just isn't true,at all.
Trikes are very cool.

Absolutely true! I am just excited (and by the replies on here, I'm in a larger group than I thought) that I have a (great looking) option to keep my face in the wind. Ten years ago the options were homebrewed machine or kit conversions, which also meant if you broke down on the road, a replacement part might not be available...now, parts are as far as the nearest HD shop.

And I'm back to piling on miles like my old (healthier) self....the fact that the machine is badass looking is icing on the cake (I hear an occasional "that's not a motorcycle" comments, but they're usually the same ones who park it in the rain and winter)
