Re: Three Wheeling
Yes, I have been running in yellow for awhile now. Even with keeping it a bay, it opens the door for other things to jump in. I am going to the doctor today because I am not sure if I have the flu or something else. Yesterday I ached from one end to the other, and am coughing up gunk. I took my blood pressure and it was up. Today I am feeling better and my blood pressure is back down. Still, it is scary that I have to watch out for everything. If there is a room full of couching people, chances are good that I will get what they have.
It would seem appropriate to say that life is not fair, but it is. You just have to think about average lifespans even 100 years ago, when flu wiped out a large percent of the population. Go back further in time and you would feel yourself lucky if you made it to 65... so, all in all I feel lucky.
I have gone to places that most people haven't, but wished they had. I have done what I dreamed of doing when I was a child (flying). I was able to graduate from college, unlike many in my extended family. I married, had kids, and worked till retirement...and I still was able to find time to ride. If I can keep my wife happy I will have done it all.
You don't have to be rich to be happy. I am proof. :-)

I have a triple tree in my back yard that should work. It's huge, so plenty of room for hugs. :-)

Re: Three Wheeling
It's probably somewhere around there, along with all of the other types of vines that we are constantly chopping down, like Wisteria, privet, ivy, and so much more. Every Spring it is a battle. The only time we get close to getting it under control is when it is sleeping...during the Winter months.

Re: Three Wheeling
The should call the red one the "Lobster Roller" and the yellow one the "Road Mow". They can move at a pretty good clip on one of those.

OldGrinner Please clarify, watts Road Mow? I really Dung know
No lean but I would give the New Ryker a test run, why not? I rode my friends CanAm (big brother). Interesting, different, odd. Not sure I could get use to it. But then....who knows. I'm Not getting any younger in body. Me Mind is a diff story. I call this time period, me Battling days.
Sooo, do you think this 600 (not the 9) would be enough for out of state trip traveling? Power? Comfort?
(Haha, O no, "Take the truck!")
I need to check out their Accessory tab

Re: Three Wheeling
Let's be honest, it looks pitiful.
And It looks worse with a person on it.
And I suspect worse again when you see someone bobbling down the road on it.

Sort of an abbreviated "Road Mower". . ..OldGrinner Please clarify, watts Road Mow? I really Dung know
It reminded me of one of these.
I would have said Scorpion but Can Am already has a product using that name.
My imagination runs wild sometimes. . ..
