Seen something like them on a Goldwing before. An old--old gentleman was riding it. I thought it was cool. He stated that he wasn't as stable catching the weight of the bike when stopping anymore but didn't want to give up riding. I liked the video. Rides and banks like two wheel but looked stable as a three wheeler. Might extend the riding lifetime of some here. In the wind is in the wind.

 

There has been a company around for quite some time called Voyager I believe. They run two outrigger wheels in line with the rear axle. I have heard them say that they take a few hours to set up initially, but after that they are quick on and off.

Most of the people I have seen with them either have a physical limitation, or are just starting to ride and wouldn't be riding without an aid. Not my cup of tea, nor are trikes, but my physical capabilities are still all intact.

In my opinion, it it helps someone ride, or keeps someone riding that otherwise couldn't, they're a good idea.

 

The Goldwing ones were first used in Japan a few years ago. I remember reading they were quite popular on BMW 1200GS bikes, which are quite high. Mainly for use at stand still, so when you come at a stop the stabilisers come down and you don't have to put your feet down. I actually think it's quite a good idea. Keeps your feet dry

 

to all of us without physical handicaps those look stupid and to those us that have handicaps they look like the best thing in the world

 

one older gentleman (80's) has them, looks weird coming down the road. But glad the old feller can still ride

 

I had a friend in Brownwood Texas that had those xtra wheels
and just for fun I called them training wheels and he grawled
back "OUT RIGGERS" he was a good friend R. I. P.

 

I have seen many at the rally's I have gone to. The folk's riding them, for the most part, did not appear to have disabilities IMO.

 

Heck, If thats what it takes to still be riding into my 90's. I'm all for em.

 

I was looking into this type of set up before I bought the trike. For me, I needed something that's a permenent set up instead of a bolt on kit. It is a good quick fix for someone that needs the stability, plus you can take it off in about 15 minutes if you want.
