Not much after about 300 miles. They slowly get off their two wheels with their creaking knees and sore backs but I'm ready to party or go another 300.

Seriously, it doesn't matter what others think as long as you like it so laugh it off and have a grand old time.

I've never received any flack and I'm on the young side at 46 and no disabilities. I pretty much could care less what others may think about what I ride, I ride what I like.

A little good natured ribbing from friends, but they really like the trike, they just never miss an opportunity to mess with each other...all is good.
But, like others, I really could care less...if someone wants to buy a bike for me and insure it, maintenance etc....I'll ride what they like..but as long as I'm footing the bill I'll ride what I like.

Went from two wheels to a Tri-Glide to a Deluxe w/sidecar and I got no grief whatsoever. Of course I carry a gun, so I didn't expect any either...

I received some good natured kidding. I really could care less what other folks think. My wife and I do alot of touring and spend consideriable time on the TG. We will arrive at our destination a lot less tired than when we rode a 2 wheeler.

Thanks all for the replies. I too could care less what others think. We are converting for health reasons. My wife has had a knee replacement and we think it will be easier for her to get on and off without me being in the way holding up the bike.

We were chatting on another site and John made this video. It's probably the easiest way to mount a trike. May be better on her knees too.
