Trikes in a MC club?

I like my HD Trike but i miss the HELL out of my 2 wheelers.

I have a good friend in the Detroit area and he belongs to a M/C and I asked him this question about trikes in his club ?

His response was are you kidding me I see them all the time now.

A lot of the member's are older now and if they want to ride that's what they do.

Most people who love riding on 2 wheels will more than likely end up on three.
 
​I started out thinking Spyders were for people that were afraid to ride two wheelers until I realized some disabled vets may be forced to go that way if they still want to ride. Only problem with them is the usual people that buy them, I'll bet, think they are "safer" than a two wheeler which we know is not the case. Consequently, these new Spyder riders are likely to raise the motorcycle statistics more than experienced riders would.

As for allowing them in a MC, we're all gonna have problems as we age and might be forced to go a direction we wouldn't have 15-20 years ago. Maybe I'm gettin soft in my old age.

Old threads are new threads to new readers, And a little trip down memory lane for old readers.....Being a amateur psychologist....[ Was Self-Enployed and dealing with 25+ customers daly]..Some of the negativity towards trike's is in the mind of the Trike's owner...:Shrug:

trikes and mc's

Allot of riders that I run into say "I will never ride a trike", and that's ok with me. Im 70 yrs old and I went to 3 wheels about 3 yrs ago because of health issues and I'm not done riding yet. I had my kit [CSC] added to my 07 Street Glide. I want to say that most of the people that I rode with over the years either don't ride anymore or are not longer with me. Life style choice mostly to blame for that. I have a crew I ride with that is on average about 10 yes younger than me and they don't care about my trike. They ride a little faster than me so I'm usually the "tailgunner". If they loose track of me they usually pull up and wait. I spend most of my time ridding alone though cause I'm retired and they aren't. I would say generally I get a lot of interest in my trike from older riders and since HD started manufacturing and selling trikes the number of trikes I see out there (Alberta Canada) has significantly increased.

I love my trike and I'm really to old to worry about what other people say or think (except for my wife), so RIDE ON cause that's what I'm doing.

Be safe out there.
