Default Training Wheels

Was on the way to the store with wife when this dude cruises up besides us.
Was the first time I have ever truly seen a motorcycle with
"Training Wheels".

Is this the cheap way of owning a trike?
Do the toll people get to charge you for 4 axels?

Man, those are some expensive training wheels.
Definitely cheaper than buying another bike, that's for sure.


Can think of a few nights during my younger years I could have used some TW's.

Yes that is a Voyager kit. The company is a couple of miles away from where I live.

I have seen a guy around my town with a similar setup. I talked to him at a gas station and he said that it is a removable trike setup? I guess you can easily remove the frame that the outrigger wheels are on and just have a regular bike again.

If it they want a trike or if they're not comfortable on 2 wheels, it's a good deal from them.

If you can't pick your Harley up if it falls over, it's time for a smaller bike or more wheels.
