There will be many more of these, forward and reverse styles, as the aging population loses the use of their legs, some completely, but MANY more incrementally. Some will be aggressive sport designs, others rather pedestrian touring mounts and most in the middle. Stability and sport.

I ve been looking at trikes I saw the can am and I liked it I saw some home made trikes also and I liked those also -  I just love the way they look but most of all I love the way they ride - but you really need to see someone who knows how to ridem to understand what I mean, wanna talk about leaning ? These bikes tip at 25 mph turns you need to drift or scrape your ear on the asphalt to keep 2 wheels down. Verrrrrrry exciting

Ever notice how big old guys ears are, old ears seem to keep growing, would flop around and scrape even sooner! :)  :)

I noticed how the old headlight ears on my CB750 keep growing longer and longer hairs of brown rusty flakes.

A bit like slagging off 4 cylinder cars.  ::)

No-one here's slagging off 4 cylinder cars, I've driven lots of excellent 4 cylinder cars (WRX's, Cosworth Sierra's, Honda's S2000 etc) but a Miata is not now, nor ever will be, a viable alternative to a motorcycle, unless of course that motorcycle is a C50. ;D

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I liked my S2000 also...

But as an actual Owner and long term driver of both cars,   I can state from real experience the S2000 is a fantastic car, and the Miata is a great car.

This me and the S2000 at a track day in Lancaster SC.

Ha! ;D ::) :)

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

"Three-wheeled bikes — also known as adult tricycles — are a great cycling option for older boomers and seniors, especially those who have concerns with their balance or stamina."

Ouch.

Seems to me anyone feeling a brag being able to ride a motorcycle must also feel an equal or greater pride of accomplishment if they get on their old Schwinn bicycle and start pedaling...
 
I believe even the special olympics has bicycle riders ( not that I've checked ).
 I see 3 and 4 year olds riding bicycles on youtube. (yes without the training wheels)
 Some even streak off on the little 50 or 80cc mini put puts on two wheels.
 So, you've already re-entered your childhood when you get on your motorbike and streak off on two wheels.
No need to applaud yourself or feel like a man.

I put this up a while back. It was either a wedding or a funeral with wingnuts.
