Agreed .... Trike with the gas tank in rear ( use an old smallstainless beer keg) where a rack would be. Bend out some custom sheet metal in the front that allows you to get your legs right and ride off into the sunset!!

Beagle, I truely feel your pain, It would be a tough desission for anyone to make in your shoes. On the Bright side you have a sweet Mustang, And have been blessed with a Beautiful wife and daughter, Some people woulddie to have what you do in just your family. There are many bright days ahead . And let me know if you do a supercharged or Turbo Mustang. Lets just say thats way up my alley and I have dabbled a bit in that area.

RE: Ride Free Everyone...I'm done.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Maybe one day you will be able to ride again. Never give up hope! Once you lose hope you have lost every thing.
Two weeks after I bought my 06 Dyna Wide Glide I srewed up my right ankle. I had to go through two surgeries and two casts and three braces. At one point I was just going to get rid of my bike because I wasn't sure I would ever be able to stand let alone ride. But I refused to give up know 13 months latter I can ride again. I can't go long distance as of yet due to the vibration causing havoc with the ankle but I can ride.
Maybe the time might be longer for you before you can ride again. But there is always hope that one day you will be able to. You said that you need a replacement joint and they won't do it till your 50. Well that might be the perfect time to buy a new bike to go with that new hip. Its never to late in life to start riding again.

THANK YOU so much to everyone for your kind words. This WAS NOT easy to decide to do. I tried and tried everything to make it work. BadX modded the seat, it helped. Added Kury extenders...it helped a little. Changed the bars, etc. etc. You just can't change would is the real problem. Deformed hip sockets. I saw the X-rays...I am just a big ole' birth defect LOL.
I have been on the WWW for 12 years now, and HDforums.com is BY FAR the best site with regards to friendliness, support and brotherhood. Maybe it's because everyoine has a common goal...to ride.
I will still occasionally rent from the local stealer to take my daughter for rides. I had to tell her that to stop the crying. Then I had to agree we'd go camping. So I made some reservations and am borrowing my brother's pop up.
At least I still have the family and a good new job. And YES! As soon as I can get hips replaced I will be riding again. But it's a 12 year wait from now. Heck, I waited about 30 to get my first HD, 12 will be a piece of cake.
THANKS AGAIN EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!

Yeah this bummed me out too.
Instead of dropping money on a car you could feed your motorcycle habit and buy an English wheel and learn to form metal to make gas tanks and fenders....buy a TIG welder and learn to weld to weld gas tanks and frames....then buy a motor....then buy a transmission...take your time and BUILD the bike of your dreams. When the day comes that you finish the bike, maybe you'll be in a condition to ride. Nothing better.
