An elderly pal of mine has recently sold his big bike and bought a three-wheeled scooter, with two wheels up front. He rides it far and wide and has been to France with us on it. He's also found it's cornering limits and slid off the darned thing!

That's one of the things I loved about my Shovelhead. No matter where I went I'd NEVER see another one like it.
