1) you are at least 62 yrs old (it's good enough for medicare so you get a pass)
2) You have some sort of medical condition or disability
3) your spouse or riding partner/companion weighs more than the rated weight of any two wheeled vehicle.

Any other acceptable reasons to riding/owning a trike from those of you that are diehard twowheel guys/gals?

Agreed with all 3.

I actually got "in E-trouble" when I said something to a guy who said they triked out his wife's bike. I asked "Is she old enough to draw social security?".

He said NO she's tired of holding the bike up in the wind. WTF!!

My uncle has a triked HD. He's a paraplegic. He rides this mystery design trike kit. Air shifter.


You can see his handicap plate. The chrome fishpole holders on each side hold his walker that he uses to walk. I have never met anybody that uses one the way he does. He uses it backwards. You'd have to see him get along.
