WELCOME FROM MONTANA - MADE THE SWITCH BECAUSE OF CHRONIC, INOPERABLE SPINAL ISSUES. AT 82 YEARS, MY TRIKE AT LEAST ALLOWS ME TO MAKE SHORT AFTERNOON RIDES.

You've sold me on getting a three-wheeler, probably a Harley. I have a bad back and had a whole lot of difficulty both throwing my leg over my old Electra Glide as well as backing it up even a short distance. My ladyfriend was happy on the back (compared to my prior Road King) but steadying the bike while she got on and off was a challenge. Slow speed maneuvers on the Electra Gide? Forget about it....
I had a bad motorcycle accident in 1993 (10 days in a coma, head injury, loss of equilibrium, got a disability discharge from the Air Force among other things) and I did not ride again until 2009. My wife told me that if I wanted to ride then it would need to be on 3 wheels. I got my 91 Electra Glide trike and I am always going to keep it going so I can ride it.
Totaled two bikes with in 3 months. I realized my situational awareness was not up to par and I had trouble balancing,but I wasn't ready to quit riding so I went to 3. Honda Goldwing trike 1st then a Can Am Spyder RT. At 75 I am still able to ride and ride long distance.
Happy TRAils/NSD
