sad day
yep - it was a sad day around here. I watched as my RKC was loaded on a trailer and headed off to Houston. I sure hated selling her. BUT, with arthritic knees and a pinched sciatic nerve (thanks Uncle Sam) I no longer enjoy riding. well, that's exactly right, I love riding, just don't like the pain and cramps in my hips.
think I'm gonna find a cheap beat up Sportster that needs rebuilding.... maybe make it into a trike.
anyway, it's been real. thanks for allowing me to hang around these last several years.

Sad indeed. A trike might get you back in the wind...not the same as a bike, but it is close. Give one a test ride and see how you feel.

I think that's a great idea. And there's no reason it should look like a servi-car or an old guys bike, either. I like bobber style Sportsters, if I were building a trike, it might look something like this.... (this one was built by a guy named Norm Wilding )
I think that we'll be seeing more Harley based trikes in the coming years as many of us Harley riders get older.

Hey, if I may comment in hopes of helping your health and getting you back on two wheels again....and yes, thank you for your service.
You probably heard it all: weight loss, core work, chiropractor, backrest on the bike, icing the back, muscle therapy, good sports medicine non-surgical-minded clinic, etc.
