View Full Version : What about bikes and trikes? cmc69mi 04-04-2006, 07:18 PM i have a 1980 honda cx 500 trike any body else cmc69mi 19-05-2006, 07:29 PM cme ther must b some others out there with trikes medusa 19-05-2006, 08:22 PM I used to have a trike I built myself- but I'm no longer able to ride through ill health and disability, so she had to go I'm afraid and I'm limited to a very boring car.

Any car can be modified to suit the owners disiabilities, sorry this assumes your car is modded. I can drive a normal automatic car with power steering, providing the controls are on the correct side. The reason that it's boring is because odern cars are boring compared to the trike and the classic SAAB that I had alongside it. Part of not being able to ride any more is that I am right handed and it's my right arm that no longer works- so anything with handlebars if inherently dangerous- and part is that I can no longer do my own maintenance (which is why I don't have the SAAB any more either). I really miss the trike- even though it was as slow as a car in traffic we could turn up at rallies with a 5 man tent, double air mattress and 12v compressor, cooking equipment, spare clothes and the MAG gazebo and deckchairs for truly chilled Saturday afternoons. The 'overtaking people with your front wheel at drivers' window height and smiling at them too' game was cool. How do you spot the happy biker in summer? That'll be the one with greenfly in their teeth! willie2007 11-10-2007, 07:41 PM You can still ride a bike/trike onehanded if you want to I do and I have a lefthand brachial plexus injury. try here for help with getting bike or trike adapted nabd.org.uk Willie2007 pete13mm 16-01-2008, 10:21 PM hi there all hope you all are ok..? i have a honda cx 500 trike.. she is in a thousand pieces at the moment due to a massive frame welding job,, i road her for a month in summer and loved every second .. should have her built again before the end of spring.. to love her again.... fishhouse 21-09-2008, 09:41 PM i ride a gsxf 600 but thinking of selling and getting trike |
