Man, you took the stump pulling comment to the max.The rear end on such a beast would be massive. About the size of a VW Bug :lol:

The man is styling. Color coordinated vest and tennis shoes. Did you notice the 5th wheel. Bet he cranked that mother at least once. Who wouldn't ?

yup got one already, but, damn, that motorized
tricycle looks mighty good.
Almost was given a motorcycle when my kids were 4
years old (twins), had a vision of side cars for each of them. But nooooooooo.....my brother (who'd bought a
hog) changed his mind. Why should a mother of twins
that age had a motorcycle. What was he thinking?

Well, here's mine.

Wheres the speedometer ? Shouldn't you have over sized brakes on that bad boy ? When you create great speed, you need great stopping power. ( Racing 101 )

Anyway. You have a sweet ride.

missinglink, no speedometer, no gears, great brakes,
and, a light-weight basket on the back. Even the slightest "uphill" is a challenge.

But I'm STRONG - I still have a regular bike. An old
Schwinn (the tricycle is also a Schwinn) 3 speed, and I
could manage any hill.
I would like racing 102. The photo was the first day I rode it. Stopped on a dime; i.e. at my son's large foot
and it was swell....good word...how about "boss".

I had to have it. Vestibular neuritis. Look it up. It was
horrible. P.T. has helped. I can run. I walked into P.T.
with a walker. I got out of bed one day and fell down.
Boom. It's on my right side. Still go to P.T. It's not
vertigo. And it was truly awful.

Better, so much better. Still, wish I could balance a
motorcycle. I can't. I'm also very light weight, but I
would be a danger - most likely to myself. But I'd like to stick around, have more grandchildren, go to daughter's wedding in Sept. You know, all those things
that matter. Live my life. I'm not "old", depending on
what age you are. I had my children when I was 27 years old. They were born in 1982. Do the math. I can't. xoxoxoxo leaving for the day. Early in Oakland.
Going to see grandson this afternoon.
So, I will be exhausted when we're done playing or walking or wh**ever we do.
Have a great day. Really.
:) :thumbup:

Pedal on by all means. It's so good for everyone. For years I would put in 25-40 miles 3 or 4 times a week on a mountain bike. Sure miss it.

I understand balancing issues. I lost my ability about 4 yrs ago and miss motorcycles greatly. Age and med's forced me back into 4 wheels only.

I lost my balance when I started to drink more Bourbon. Think I have a Legal case against Kessler and Jack!
