Fast forward 40 years, and after getting used to cars... she's not interested in riding on 2 wheels other than the occasional ride on our bicycles. However, after talking about the possibility of a 'Rally Down Under' or a 'Rally Out West', she's interested in going if we can rent a CanAm or a Trike. Actually, she's even suggested that we sell one of our bikes, or boat, and buy a CanAm or Trike. So here's my question... actually questions. 1. Does anyone have a similar experience where the wife wouldn't ride with them on 2 wheels but would after they rented or bought a 3 wheeled machine? 2. Are CanAm's or Trikes available for rent? Here and/or Austrailia? I'm intrigued by her request... she wouldn't even put the top down on her convertible, but now might be open to riding at least on 3 wheels.Can't blame her. Women become timid about these things much sooner than do men, for good reasons. Much more prone to osteoporosis, for example. It's good intuition. Problem with trikes, all of the exposure of a motorcycle with none of the agility. As with anything it has to be her comfort level and decision.
