Tilting Motor Works http://www.tiltingmotorworks.com/Anyone seen or ridden one of these? Just curious. If I was moving to a trike, it would be because of my knees and an inability to hold the fat gurl up while stopped and I'm not sure this would be a good answer for that but, it is an interesting machine. |

I see it more of a when and not much of an if. (If you know what I mean) There will come a day when the fat gurl will be more than my knees can handle. Doc already wants to replace one of them. Told him I'd let him know when I was ready for that. That same day I started looking at trike alternatives.  (I've got some great looking legs, don't need no scars scaring off the ladies ya know.) |

THAT could be "interesting"! BUT the ad ONLY mentioned H/Ds.  Guess a phone call wouldn't hurt. As somewhat of a gear head I find the concept kewl!  RIDE SAFE. |

I wouldn't even consider the company, nor the purchase of the package, because those losers not only limit the posting of their current corporate advertising media to Facebook, they put that media behind Facebook's log-in firewall. You must not only be a Facebook member but also need to be actively logged in to view...the very purchase assistance details that would make you want you to give them your money in the first place.
Fcuk off.

While NOT knee replacement talk to da prez-Ross-my brother as he has had both shoulders replaced. Can NOT remember him being so pain free since he was way younger. The last one was done 4 Nov 2015 and he is champing at the bit.  RIDE SAFE. |

We saw a lot of that style in Europe and close up in Paris. They have a lot of scooters with them.
I guess if you drink , it will help you stay upright. They use them year around. The winters are not like ours tho.

I think this looks waaay better than the one the guy had the Valkyrie mounted on. IMHO it was butt ugly.
Much more stream lined plus the tilted steering. I would never be one to say never, just get a car. The looks like a very sweet alternative to keep it in the wind should any physical disability arise.

Rams , I put off replacement surgery for a long time. Get it done in the off season. Physical therapy is a must. I had my right shoulder replaced 1-14-15 and the left on 11-4-15. Almost thru therapy. Working on strength and range of motion. You still have time before riding season. Find a Doctor that does replacements daily. Not one that is just learning.

IF-O K-WHEN I need 3 wheels to stay in the wind this COULD/SHOULD be a viable option! I'd rather be on 3 wheels and in da wind than to try to do without the wind!  The wind is an addiction-I'm hooked!  RIDE SAFE. |

Depending on who you're referring to, I may or may not agree. Rams , I put off replacement surgery for a long time. Get it done in the off season. Physical therapy is a must.

Sir I appreciate the advice and I know you know what you're talking about. I'm just not ready to give up the parts that I was born with. Remember, I've got those great legs. |

So, I'm guessing no one has ridden one of the gadgets? Honestly, I'd like to try one out. Not sure I can handle the reduced torque and horsepower of an HD but, willing to try just so I can ride the cool/ugly trike. |

Wish these folks great success as I can see something like this in my future. Snohomish, WA is a long ways away, need them or someone to do this in the midwest and other regions as well. Piaggio does this and it works great on a 500 cc scooter.
Wish someone like HONDA would just make one from scratch with there various 1800 cc bikes so it could be reliable, I would not take a chance with a Harley, ( just me ) . After all we are in a Geezer market now.

Rams , not trying to steal the post. Try Synvisc injection in the knees. Check with your Dr. Good reports on effectiveness of the injection.
