The age old dilemma - or should that be the dilemma of old age ?
There was a recent write up in a big cycle mag about whether 3 wheelers, or in this modern era, trikes, should be rode tested in a motorcycle magazine - the question being- were they really motorcycles. But the more basic question was really the dilemma all of us will face sooner or later and that is - what to do when 2 wheels are too much, and the decision of stopping riding all together or taking on one of the ever increasing other options of riding/ driving something with three wheels.
Twenty years ago, the only option really was a side car, or if you were really wealthy, a Morgan 3 wheeler. More recently I see more and more Harley and Gold Wing trikes with their accompanying high price tags.
At our yearly toy run , of over 1000 bikers this past september we see the usual number of Can Am`s - I counted about 10 but then the advent of the new Polaris Slingshot- of which there were 2 on the ride.

Just got home last night from a 2 day, 1400 mile road trip to pick up the sidecar! Long driving days, but well worth it. Now, it's MINE! All MINE!

Looks like you and me are heading down the same track although mine is going on the K1100 BMW for now.
