EXACTLY!!

But if I ever physically get to the point that I need 'em to ride, training wheels it will be!

Y'know what UP.  I don't think I would.  If/when I got to the point that I was physically no longer able to manage a heavyweight motorcycle I think my choice would be a bike with a sidecar.  I've never been a trike fan (personal taste, I just never liked them); and the training wheel thing strikes me even colder.

I've never ridden a hack.  So really have no idea what it'd be like.  But if I needed an extra wheel to help things stay manageable that'd be my choice.

I guess I'd have to try the alternatives.  I always thought a sidecar would be more difficult to ride because it is not symetrical.  The look of the Voyager itself does not look to bad to me, no worse really than a trike.

Maybe we will have to get an old Servicar and go in style, eh?

That's the ticket  !

Here's another alternative - Can-Am Spyder Roadster.

I've been looking forward to seeing one of those.  Wonder how much pep that snowmobile engine will have on a scooter?

Very creative sled, though...

Probably a Voyager.  Never rode one but I see them around from time to time.  Because they are removable they are an interesting option.

I have seen those - never ridden one.

Kaz rides the Hack and not only is it cute- it also has TONS of storage for luggage etc...

Here's a T-Rex three wheeler.

This Guy is trying to build HD three wheelers to sell. 2/3 done here.

Saw some of those at Outback parking lot in Daytona last bike week.  One of them did a hellacious (sp?) burnout.  Very quick machines.

Looks good Al.  I have just always liked the look of a sidehack.  Don't even know why.  Just one of "those things."  Have never even sat a saddle in a parking lot on a bike with one attached.  So have absolutely no idea how it might handle.  But I like the look and I like the space.

I may have something in the next year or so though.  Maybe.  Am toying with the idea of some thing, RKC maybe, with a hack to be a bike for when my niece wants to go.  It wouldn't get tons of miles, though I could see it easily doing some regional weekenders a few times each year.  And the evening rides.  That kind of thing.  Might even start off as a salvage project or something.

But it wouldn't get worn out in use.  So it might do it's duty carrying the hack for a dozen years or so then become the kids first bike.  It's an idea anyway....

Wow, great topic.
If I had to narrow it down to just 3 favorites, I'd have to go with:
1. Freedom Wings
2. Tie; Legend Airides and Corbin Seat
3. Caliper Mounted Moto-lites

Stuff I wish I'd never seen (or bought)
1. HD GPS Quest
2. GP Bearing Support
3. can't think of any others

What is your issue with the GP Bearing support?

I have had mine for 8 months and a nice warm feeling as its protecting my bearings and the only thing that bothers me is that I can't see it?

The HD dealer primo mech. here did the install and couldn't get the vibration out in 5th gear. Tried several times at hreat cost to me but I finally had him remove it.
