Good morning all.
I am contemplating a trike as I can't get on and of anymore. Of course a move like this comes with all the usual "buts"
So I was discussing it with a friend of similar age and problems.
His answer Adventure before Dimensia.
Guess that about says it all

Hi Mike,
I agree, I suggest you start today or you might forget what you were contemplating....

I can thoroughly recommend a BSA Trike.
It has the added advantage of giving you greater confidence in bad weather...e.g.

Hi
Thats nothing short of superb. Thanks for sharing.
However I actually meant something like a goldwing conversion etc.. Having seen that I might convert my A50 as I've got nothing to do next weekend. Ho Ho Ho.

I know at least a couple of guys in the club have done BSA trike conversions. Hopefully they will post on here.

A simpler option is of course the sidecar. Many may sneer but they can be an absolute hoot.

Don't give up on the sidecar idea. They just take a bit of practice. They are very practical. There's a beauty for sale in the Star this month at a very reasonable price. Just change the fork springs and engine sprocket and a couple fo hours work setting up and you're sorted.

Are you sure I can't persuade you to rethink...look at some of the doors an outfit will open for you...
