In 2015 I crashed and totaled my Black Interstate and sadly bought a Can Am Spyder. Yesterday I got totally ripped off by a Can Am Dealer and Im done. It may take a year but I plan to sell my Spyder next year and then hope to find a Valkyrie Trike. Ive been away from my Valkyrie way too long. Sadly my wife thinks Im too old at  68 to ride a two wheeler but got the approval for a three wheeler.
I will keep my eyes on the classifieds and Cycletrader rather than a dealer but any other suggestions on where to look please advise and thanks

There are many of us that are a bit older than your 68 and still on two wheels.

Not worth the spouse battle. I had a car pull out in front of me and totaled my Valk, in the process I went through the windshield and landed on the back of my head. Took off the bulk of my helmet and jacket. Luckily my cervical fusion didn't fail. SO I get why she is a bit paranoid. That was in New Jersey , sadly drivers in Delaware are just as bad. I remember coming home from a ride in West Virginia with a group and west of Philly people were polite and didn't mess with our group. Once we hit Philly and east of it , I felt like people we out to kill us.

My thought was that when I get too old for two wheels I would go to four.

Well, my bride got too old for two wheels before me. So we got the Cobra Car so she could still ride with me. I still ride the Valkyrie but mostly solo.

I did take it  on a VRCC Valkyrie bike trip and was well received.

I think it’s a much better option than a trike for roughly the same money.

 I just turned 60 last August. I don't see me stopping anytime soon but I do have my days. With that said my father (Solo1) gave up riding at 87 years of age. He just drove his Miata then on.
