About 2006 or 2007 some people were telling about these wheels that looked like training wheels on a motorcycle, I told them they were crazy. One day on my way home from work, at a stop light I saw this Goldwing stopped kitty corner, at the light with these training looking wheels on the ground. When he took off the wheels looked like the went up, in to the bottom of the saddlebags. Guy never had his feet on the ground, the only problem I can see is, if one time the wheels didn't come down and you think they did, you would be screwed. I would probably put trip indicator lights on the dash, to show they were down.

I don't know much about them, but they might have that covered??
One thing I liked about this system is that the little bogey wheels are spring loaded so you can lean the bike some so you can, for example, start a turn at a traffic light before the bogeys lift.
I am certainly not in need of assistance any time soon, but I'm 67...who knows...in a few years it would be better than giving up riding 2 wheels.
I will go the convertible sports car route before doing a Trike or Spyder.

Maybe the one I seen was a prototype setup, I think I only seen one more after that, and didn't see anymore. I am sure they got the bugs out of them by now. What state are they from, I am in southeast Michigan. The one in the video seems out of the way, far as clumsy.

Not a bad idea for when the time comes but, I'm not there yet.
Call me nuts but, I was taken back by the frontal image of that Wing. My lord that thing is wide and, not to attractive (to me).

A friend of mine tried these on his Goldwing a couple of years ago. They did not stay on his bike very long. He, in his eighties, eventually went to a Ford Mustang convertible.
They make slow speed u-turns look clumsy. It doesn't allow you to dip the bike to tighten the turn...
