As I'm getting older, I may, just may, consider one "down" the road. I believe HD agrees with you, as I an very confidentHD will offer a trike in 09.

I hope it's a long time before I "need" one, but I feel a whole lot better seeing people on trikes than in cars. Pretty sure they are motorcycle-oriented than cell phone/SUV/latte-oriented.

The H-D/Lehman trikes are pretty sweet.

I think HD may sell the HD/Lehman from the factory in 2009. I know they have a contract and it has been in the works for awhile.

I know when I can no longer ride my Fat Boy safely, I'll convert into a trike - there's no shame in it.
