It is a couple of years now since I couldn't ride my mo'sickle any more, and with a little help this morning, I managed to get it out into the daylight, to actually get it ready to be sold, as I will never be able to ride it again, and it and it's matching trailer are taking up precious room in my garden that would be better used for the storage of my disabled buggies. The second press of the starter button and it fired up (I had forgotten to turn the ignition on the first time), once that was done, I slipped it into reverse and backed it out of it's containment where it had stood for the last two years or so. Mind you, that little bit of exhilaration was worth the couple of hours pain it gave me, it brought back great memories of doing long distance journeys in bike heaven. It still looks rather good, seeing that it has only been covered up with it's bike cover. I have yet to dig out the trailer, and I am hoping it will be in at least as good a condition that this is. I have been dreading this for a couple of years, and once it is gone, will mark the end of a significant era in my life. I'm really dreading finding a buyer, and see it disappear forever. I just wish I could keep it until it became someone else's problem, but lack of space will not allow that. That's life I suppose, and maybe explains why I prefer to go for long buggy rides rather than trying to go in the metal box on four wheels. John |

John, I know how you feel about getting rid of the Goldwing. I had one for 9 years and the wife and I put over 25K miles on it. 500 miles was an easy day's ride. My wife's knees went bad and she couldn't sit for long periods so we opted to sell it. Just wondering if you have "Trike" kits in the UK? One option available here is reversible. A handicapped friend has one that has logged over 30K road miles and still going. Here is a couple of sites. http://triggtrikekits.com/?gclid=CNeIhZC6takCFcK8Kgodviv2Mg http://www.championsidecars.com/products.asp?scPage=3&catID=1&itemID=2 Joe |

Joe, We do have trike kits in the UK, and I looked at them when I couldn't ride the bike as it was. But we both decided that we just wouldn't get the use out of it for such a large outlay of cash. At some time or other, we had to let go. John |
