Newbie on the site here.
I just turned 70 as well, and my wife and I ride a 2006 GL1800. Been riding since I was 16, got my first Gold Wing in 1984 and have been riding them ever since. I'm pretty sure I'm to the point now where I'm going to have to give up trying to keep this 900 pound bike upright in parking lots and such. Not only am I older now, but I'm weaker as well. Time marches on and takes its toll.
I've been putting off getting the Gold Wing triked because I just hate to give up the unique feeling of riding on two wheels. On the other hand I just don't feel as capable on two wheels with 2-up and loaded bags as I did just a few years ago.
Glad I found this thread and read how happy people are after having made the change from two wheels to three.
Guess I've gotta sell off a bike or two from the stable to pay for the trike kit now!
