Just curious

If time or injury's have taken you off a two wheeler but you still love riding,
would you tend to go for a trike or Spyder option?

I'm not there yet, but I might consider option 3:

3. Quit riding altogether.

I have noticed that we seem to see more spiders than trikes these days.

Believe Spyders are far more stable and definitely handle better. If you have the extra bucks, you might also consider THIS. Met Bob Mighell when he owned a medical equipment reconditioning equipment company. Visited the company and he was working on the finalizing his system. Guy is a mechanical genius.

That has promise, but that front fender is butt ugly.

Interesting concept. Made for the big bikes. I still have my 650 Savage and is light enough for me to handle and have fun with. But the time for something more stable is drawing near.
