Hi, I'm new to this site and am looking for some help and advice. I'm
getting up in age (72) and have been thinking about selling my bike and
going to a trike. Don't laugh - you will all get there some day.
Since this is a new endeavor, I would like to get information on what I need
to know about buying and driving trikes. Are there any forums devoted to
trike questions, etc.

According to MCN the average rider is 40+ now. Most of us have probably
given what to do some consideration. I lean towards trailering a smaller
bike then. Fuel prices may alter my thinking eventually.

A surprising number of people monitor the group even though it has little
traffic. Might be faster to Goggle using something like: motorcycle trike
conversion forum.
Good Luck.

FWIW, my hero in the 80's was an 86 year old guy in the local BMW club that
did 23,000+ miles one year on an old /2. No windshield, no electric start.
There are some new tech trikes that lean and countersteer. That's the only
way I'd give up my 2 wheeler.
