    Default What do You Miss Most About.................

    ...............riding on two wheels??

    Mine would be the sportiness of leaning into the corners on two wheels.
    My dislike about two wheels is stopping/parking/turning/fighting the laws of gravity with 900# while maintaining a balancing act when carrying passengers.
    Goldwing:
    A real butt kicking, wheel popping, tire burning old man's bike.

    I am glad I have left behind all the things I miss about 2 wheels. I would not go back. I sold 3 Harleys and 2 Hondas, now I have a Transformer and a 450 Rebel and would sell the rebel.

    Sitting in my garage are two bikes and the trike. My plans are to sell the two wheeled Gold Wing in the spring because the trike provides all the fun plus a bunch. All the thrills without the worries. The other bike will stay as it takes me on all the crappy dirt and gravel roads that I care to travel.

    Sold the 2 wheelers and never looked back. Don't miss a thing about them.
    Come to think of it, I've still got the 2 wheeler experience up front. The frame, engine, fairings, seat, radios, etc. are the same.

    Miss leaning on curves? I can still lean on the curves if I feel like it. Well, at least my body leans even if the trike doesn't. Sort of gives the same sensation, though.

    While I love my trike and it will be the last motorcycle to part with, I miss the curves. I still have a two-wheeler and still love riding the twisties. However, ride two-up most of the time and co-rider loves the trike so two-wheeler doesn't get much use.

    What you said and also the trike is much less work especially on a long ride. I can be more "relaxed" while being alert if that makes any sense at all.

    Lovin' my RoadSmith, but I gotta say the downside as compared to two wheels, my RS is a rougher ride, but to be expected with three wheels which finds every defect in the road. However, the upside negates any minor problems I may have with the RS, and I wouldn't go back. One big plus, two up is great riding now.

    You asked so here it is.......Not being able to avoid a pot hole, not leaning, inferior brakes and somewhat less acceleration, rougher ride, and takes up more room in the garage. That said, I am still glad I triked my 2010 and enjoy it 12 months a year. I wouldn't go back.
    I no longer have the stress of holding up 900lbs of bike with wife on back, nor concern myself on how the parking lot will be, paved or gravel, or making a u-turn on a dime. I now have 30,000 miles on this Champion S/A kit and it has been trouble free and a pleasure to ride........When you get older you tend to favor safety over performance.

    Truthfully I prefer 2 wheels and have kept my Road Star sold my other bikes.
    Last 3 years only put 500 miles on it.
    Here in my part of Florida your 100% invisible on the road to all these cagers.
    I felt safer on 2 wheels living in Manhattan then I do here.
    At least with the trike.
    Its big YELLOW and easier to be seen.
    Now Im only 50% invisible to these retired old farts in cars.
