I sure like the trikes and the side car options. But the 650 Bergmans do have an appeal all by them selves...

Ride Safe and keep riding.

To me if you been riding a bike and its just gittin heavy, going to a trike ain't the same as riding a lighter bike. I'm sure as long as you been riding you will make the right choice.

I vote for a New Sportster, lower the front and rear,full size windshield, saddlebags and a touring seat. Hell of a lot lighter and easier to man handle than a 99 E 'Glide.
