I can see myself on that when I'm old, gray, and feeble. I'm 60 now, so when will that be? not too soon I hope.

I don't care for the nose cone on the thing.

I tried posting a photo - guess I don't possess the right skills.....

Hmmm, can't exactly remember but it was within the past month or so and I think it might have been here. I'll see if I can find it when I get a chance. I thought it was odd because I see a lot of them on the road.

Guess in reality it does not matter. Harley will only do what makes them money and if the expense of the line is to great the product will be cut. I worked in York for 6 months as a casual and I have to tell you I have never worked for a worse company in my life. You think the dealerships are bad, it worse on the inside.

Google "Morgan Motor Company". British car company that built 3-wheel V-twin "runabouts" from 1910-1939 and is re-introducing them for 2011. Power by HD or S&S with a Mazda 5-speed trans.

A guy at work rides one of these. We try real hard not to make fun of him, but it's a funny looking beast. He asked me to go riding with him over Ortega Highway some weekend. Wonder if he could keep up?

Anyway, he got it for the stability and "in case he hits sand the wheels won't slide out fron under him." Hope that works out.... Also said he doesn't need a motorcycle license because it's 3 wheels.
