I went from a bike to a trike several years ago with the onset of some knee issues.
Bikes are more fun. But a trike is a great alternative if there are issues with riding a bike. I sold mine when the wife lost interest in riding. |

It's just an optical illusion. Maybe the way the sun is hitting it.

At 500lbs my Honda Shadow 600 is a good fit for me, old school spoked, chain driven with a tall 4sp clunky gearbox. My wife had a big CB750 dropped on her back in the day, so two up riding is not an option now. Suits me as I don't like two up. Old timers that I ride up to say they love their 3 wheelers, they say they've tired of holdup up their Gold Wings or big HD's. I may get one when I'm old (61 is not old, to me). Mrs says she'll ride on a trike, cool. |

I'm 67 and had been riding off and on since I was 17. When I was 61 a couple of incidents convinced me it was time to go to three wheels if I was going to keep riding. After a LOT of research my wife and I decided on a CanAm Spyder RT...the touring model. The best decision I could have made, riding wise. I rode the Spyder until last December when I finally had to quit when a broken left ankle couldn't take the vibrations through the foot peg anymore.
Three wheels kept me riding for over six good years longer than I would have thought. If you want to keep riding, three wheels is often the way to go. I doubt you'd regret it.

Slingshot are three wheeled cars. My state calls them autocycles.

Started out on off road Enduros then moved up to in-line 4 street and touring bikes. A few years ago I transitioned to v-twins. I Just don’t have the need for speed anymore.
if I were to ever do another cross country trip I think a trike or perhaps a spider would be a preference. Here’s my current ride

I suggest you try a sidecar rig. I rode a Goldwing trike for 10 years and a sidecar rig for 3 years, but never two wheels. So the lean is and never was important to me. I tried a Can Am Spyder, but I just couldn't get comfortable with the throttle and other controls. A sidecar is a different animal, to be sure; but it has its own pleasures and benefits. Good luck on your journey to whatever style of riding you will ultimately choose.

How easy are they to install/remove, and when removed, are there any ugly brackets, etc.?
