    Do your home work on every brand from reliability, braking, fit and finish and please remember you ride a motorcycle but you drive a trike I say this because you can lean a motorcycle to change lanes but you have to turn the handle bars on a trike.
    My wife of eight years has had 4 brands in this period of time and found Hannigan to be her favorite she rides 13000 miles per year.
    Hannigan, Euro Wing, California Side Car. and a Road Smith for now and practice riding your trike do not do as a friend of mine did and total his trike within 50 mile of delivery.

    Remember weather your on 2 wheels or 3 your still enjoying the ride and it will run as fast a you wish to ride it the wife will run 80-90mph if I don't
    tell her to watch her speed and its not just me and you on the ride when she leads a group ride.

    Cool F6B Trike

    Hi Mate,

    I had my F6B Triked for me by these guys http://www.trikeshop.co.uk Here she is:

    Attachment 22662itsalive.jpg I am a wheelchair user and need to ride a Trike due to paralysis from the chest down. For those of us who have to ride with three wheels, you couldn't ask for a better bike to Trike.

    Trike,,

    Hello to one and all. Speaking of Motortrike, i went thru the plant 2 years ago, never dreaming of owning an F6, pretty neat place whether one get's there on two wheels or three wheels. Guess the main reason i'm thinking of triking the F6 as i live on a country road that's not fit for a car let alone a motorcycle. Course everyone knows the township's are outta money for road repairs. So to answer the question as to why turn the well healed F6 into a trike, it'd be more stable on the country roads l live on. Gravel, potholes, etc. At any rate, wife's not ready to give up the horses and move to town, course i'm not either. Thanks to one and all for the replies,,,Safe travels

    Paul B,

    Very cool that you still ride. The trike makes perfect sense, of course. The important thing is that you can still ride, and do.

    I love my F6B, and there's no way I'd let some like not being able to walk get in the way of enjoying my rides out

    Was going to get the wife a F6B that was triked, except.....no reverse. Adding the extra weight that a trike has, she wouldn't be able to reverse it if/when it came down to it.

    "Too each his own" as they say and what works for you is great...I personally have ridden a few trikes and would never own one...I am not ready to give up my F6B yet, 76 years old, as my health and physical condition is pretty decent at this point....When the time comes that I have to quit riding, I will do so with much regret, but a nice Mustang convertible is probably in the cards!!!....Ride safe

    Hannigan Motorsports Trikes

    A friend of mine had his 2016 Goldwing Triked. His was done in Murray KY. by Hannigan Motorsports. www.hannigantrikes.com/ He is very happy with his. Has an extra four gallon fuel tank. Another friend has a Kawasaki Nomad Triked by the same company. I've rode with him and his corners better than other trikes in the group. Much better with the independent suspension. The front end has a "180" kit installed which is a larger front triple tree and tire (basically the same size as the rear tire) and provides a more stable ride. the bike also has a 6" longer wheel base and is about 5' wide in the rear. Very stable, no need to put your feet down or balance the bike at the start

    Never is a long, long time. I am not quite ready either but when my knees give out or I can no longer hold one up, my fat ass will be on a trike chasing the young guys thru the curves !!!
