who would of thought triking it out would be scarier than 2 wheels?

Trikes... for those who would rather drive than ride.

It's nice to know when I get too old to lift my machine.....I have an insane alternative lol.

My dad would love to still ride but his knees are knackered, he has his spyder now instead. I'm gonna send him this link

I have to admit though if you can ride why have a trike at all? I don't drive at all, the wife does that on family days out, I just have my motorcycles

That started life as a R3T which I find interesting because my local sales mgr told me 1 of the reasons triumph detuned the touring was because the frame was too soft to be safe over 100 mph, I rolled my eyes when he said it and now I think i'll email him the link.

Isn't that conversion the one that adds 2 wheels to the 2 wheels you already have. If so, it is kind of like training wheels and makes it a quad.

when my body can no longer deal with two wheels, that is what I am going to do. The Motor Trike looks like a fine alternative.

136 mph with a Carpenter engine ? I'm not impressed.

WELL ITS A LOT DIFFERENT on the salt flats with no traction

That doesn't seem terribly fast. Did he forget to change the limiter setting?
