Good on you for giving handicapped vets a discount on your trikes.

Still, the motorcycle riding vet says (and I mean it with all respect) trikes are for the old, the weak, and the handicapped). When I’m old and weak, or if I find myself handicapped, I might get myself one.

When I see a 68 yr. old cancer survivor or disabled vet on a trike, they get much respect from me. When it’s someone who’s so fat they can hardly walk or some jerk-off that hasn’t figured out how to actually ride a motorcycle, well....not so much.

Same goes for Putin. He’s not disabled. If he wants to be tough guy so bad, get a two-wheeled machine.

Not handicapped vets...ALL vets.

I’m not old, weak or handicapped, *definitely* not fat and I’ve figured out how to ride a motorcycle.

It’s simply what I prefer.

Besides, you can’t put a 2000W amp/pre-amp/EQ/subwoofer/quad speakers on a 2 wheeler.

Call it tough love, but as a lifelong, and second generation biker, you’ve got it all wrong. Anything that gets you out of the cage and into the wind is a good thing and worthy of respect, not disdain.

This attitude towards trikes is the same as the dumbass, yuppified nonsense that a Sportster is a girls bike. Usually spoken by a guy who wears a tie 5 days a week, but is now hard with 3 days of stubble. They’re usually known for mouthing a silent “who?” when I tell them that Sonny Barger rode a Sportster.
