I Have a question for you old sage experienced 2 wheel riders!

[Jack Klarich]

Randy,

Maybe you should not worry about their comfort and let them learn from experience like the rest of us.

Long time ago, when I didn't know better I rode my Sportster 640 miles in one day. orag:

Agree Lola, never again would I ride a Sporster that many miles

 

[graygoat]

I agree with Lola on this one. Some folks just have to learn for themselves! :clapping:

 

[tom w]

we did 3381 miles in 9 days from home to the south rim of the canyon and back. Great trip but I was ready to be home.

....Hey Lola!

They wouldn't be seen riding a trike! (it's for old people only they think....and has no other value!)

Cheers!

So, in other words, they don't think handicapped veterans or any handicapped person should be able to ride again?? That's insensitive young people for you.

No, no my man, you misunderstand.....

........they believe that trikes are "only" for old people or handicapped veterans. ect...........Nothing new here = I see this attitude among other bikers all the time!

.......Many of us trike riders once had the same attitude too I'm sure.

Cheers!

Randy, even if I was not handicapped I would be riding a Trike after all the years of trying to balance 2 wheels

I have people tell me if you have handicap plates , How can you still ride...

And depending on my mood at the time , I will either tell them the Trike isn't handicap i am.... Or think of the trike as a motorized wheel chair... Or the one that really gets them; I'm not' I bought the plates off of Craigslist for 250$ just tell the what letters you want and they send them to you with the wheelchair symbol ....And the same letters as your present plates..........

Well boys,

...I ain't handicapped (yet), and I sometimes see the 2 wheelers and think "You know, that might be fun to ride too!"......But then, I can't seemed to get off my TriGlide long enough to take my 2 wheeler thoughts seriously.....It's just such an absolute pleasure riding this thing -"Especially on long road trips!"....and then there's the wifes' "Thang about not riding on the back of a 2 wheeler with me that I would have to overcome !"

(and now that she's used to riding on the rear princess seat of the TriGlide = I'll never get her on a 2 wheeler with a sissy bar = ain't happenin'!) (yeah I know you can get a princess seat on 2 wheelers too)

....So, All I say to my brothers who refuse to ride a TriGlide is......"SUCKS to be you!" "Your style is costing you a hell of a lot of comfort it seems to me!"

.....but in all fairness: "to each his own, I guess." (those 2 wheeler hogs look cool as well!)

Cheers!

Cheers!

 

[Jack Klarich]

My wife knew I would not want to stop riding when my DR found all the damage to my back and left leg

It was a no brainer when my wife said get rid of that solo seat Streetbob, get a trike and I will ride with you again

Problem solved:clapping:

I’m not handicapped, still ride my 2-wheeler, BUT I like the looks of my trike and enjoy

them BOTH!

How fortunate I/we are that can experience BOTH worlds.......
