We had a "Wing-Ding" (errm, Honda GoldWing riders' gathering) in our town last fall and I noticed a lot of them were riding trike conversions, especially the older riders.
Question is, are there any trike riders on the forum? Also, for you two-wheelers, have you ever thought about someday getting that third wheel and, for that matter, what might influence you to do so?
Seems to me they might be a bit less intimidating for riders who are less than confident on two wheels and/or who percieve that their own physical abilities aren't up to par anymore. I suppose that realization awaits all of us, assuming we live long enough.

Any thoughts?

I saw a motorcycle the other day with one of those sidecar thingys. I'm kind of wondering what the advantage is over just having the passenger sit on back.

Gonna get me a trike in my old age so I don't fall over.

When I'm too old to pick the bike up off the kickstand, I will just pull it over on top of me and suffocate......

There is absloutely nothing that would influence me to get a trike. Except for health reasons.

Well OK if I was delivering pizza and could rig a warming oven I might consider it

Let's see... you're 80 and she's 30... I'd say she'll be wantin' something alright, but I don't think that's what she'll call it.

Trikes are Ghey.

I saw a guy riding one a few weeks back and as he was headed toward me but in the rearview I noticed that he had a wheelchair on the back. I think it was cool for that guy to ride a trike and I can still respect him.
