Trike conversion

[Makz58]

I guess if you had a health issue that kept you from riding on two wheels the trike would be a option...but this one is just plain ugggggggly.

Is there a way to shift into reverse?

Hopefully it's not wet...

With T-shirt.  I'm the one on the driver's side.  Lincoln AFB.  I've actually tried to find that t-shirt in a large.  Would love to wear it again.

I really love the color of that conversion. Is that a stock color?

That suspension looks like you would still be able to lean the "bike", but I'd worry about the bag hitting the fender. Sure is ugly though.

To the CanAm Spiders "lean"? I thought you had to stear them like a car.

Yes, it is. Available in Europe!

Or at your local painter...

The spyders don't lean, but you do have to throw your body weight into the turn to counter centrifugal force.

That's what I heard and that makes them much more fatiguing to ride.

They are. You're working all the time. The Spyder is a three track vehicle. I potentially wants to follow three different lanes and will simultaneously hit three different bumps. They are a lot of fun and I kept mine for about a year before I traded it off.

I'm telling you....convertible is the way to go.  No getting wet, AC in the summer, 4 wheels...   Mind you, this is all if I can't ride two wheels anymore.  Not thinking about this option near term although the wife is lobbying for one now.

A three wheeler is the worst possible configuration.  It has none of the advantages of a car or bike, with all the disadvantages of both.  Since it can't lean, it is far more unstable than a car.  Yet it is not light or maneuverable like a bike and is less safe.

Here is the sidecar setup I saw on the old forum. I wouldn't mind one of these at all. They have them for Connies too.

Might be another option down the road.
