Well F2-
You made a point out saying many older people bought trikes and traded them back in when they found out they weren’t going to help them keep riding .
That they were too much work at speeds.
And you had the bobble head stuff mentioned.
So the impression I have from reading all that is telling me no trike For me.
Now I have known you long enuff to know you don’t make stuff up . I believe what you wrote .
So idk what you are trying to say now.
At this moment in time I have decided to forgo a big trike . And it is based upon a lot of what I mentioned you said.
Backpedaling does not become you, old friend.
Yamaha , the 250 mentioned is high on my list . It was never out of production .
Honda makes a 230? XL230L I believe. Got to be a lot lower than a Buell!!!
A big problem with 2 up riding is that an unfortunate situation would affect you both .
When my wife and I started having babies that was a big reason we cut down drastically on 2 up .
Just wasn’t worth the risk .
As to other concerns , I retired over 20 years ago while she has kept working . With Isabel off to school I sit here alone more than ever . She just turned 50 . She could if she wanted to , get her own ride.
None of this is really that important . I ordered some knee sleeves off Amazon . Perhaps I will be on the road again soon. However I doubt balancing her pillion is in the future.
Inflation belongs in your tires.
Not in your grocery bill.
