wow...kinda wild

when I got back from this morning's ride my wife asked if I would run up to the grocery in town to pick up some eggs. Sure hon (any excuse to ride some more hee hee)

Anyhow after getting the eggs I was headed back thru town and spotted this ahead of me



followed her down Main and she turned off on the state route the same way I was going. Followed her about 2 miles to the light where I turn off and head on back roads to home. We caught the light and I got a close up pic

Looks like a Suzuki Burgman 3 wheeled conversion with a Givi trunk.
Love the dichotomy between the helmet/armored jacket and the capris pants/open toed sandals. Also love the Maltese Cross tail lights. Haven't seen any of them in 30 years. Used to be popular on 60's choppers and VW trike conversions lol.

She looked liked she was having a blast. Good for her!

I've seen that conversion also. Pretty neat setup.

They kind of look like training wheels. Not a slam. Just an observation. I love the novelty of it. And if she was having fun, more power to her!

That thing still has the rear wheel? The head mech at my dealer said a setup like that is dangerous and will not pass inspection in Virginia. I was there when he told a guy not to bring the bike in to him for an inspection or it would immediately fail.

That woman must be very dangerous. She's an NRA member!!

Saw two of them in my neighborhood recently ridden by an older couple.
Never ever give up.

Wait, that has FOUR wheels? That's strange, and I can't imagine it's a handler. But, whatever floats your boat.

She was not riding very fast. Fastest I saw her go was just over 40 mph. I followed her around a slow speed turn, did not see anything weird. Is that middle rear wheel supposed to mess up the handling?

I saw a Goldwing with a similar conversion. The guy said he uses it when he rides two-up for long distances, but just pops the bike onto its natural two wheels when he's solo or for short trips. I think he even referred to them as "training wheels"
