Default Three wheeler/Trike??

My 69 year old Dad had to finally sell his bike.

His knees would not give him the trustworthy support he feels comfortable with anymore, so after 100,000 miles he has sold his 80 Honda CB900 Custom.

He still loves to ride and I am trying to find a good trike website or something on trikes.

Any brand better than the other and etc..

Thanks for help
Poosey

Poor guy!

Try BOSS HOSS (I think that's it). They're made in Dyersburg, TN. They usually have 350 ci chevy engines in them.

Stone Cold Steve Austin bought one. You'd better believe his was right. You definitely don't want him showing back up pi$$ed off!

I've seen Volusia trikes tested. Not too shabby. How much power does he need?

I've seen a couple of goldwing conversions that are really nice, but you need the bike, and then you have to buy the kit and have it built. Expensive proposition. 20 for the bike and another 10 for the kit. Another thought would be to throw a side car on it. Here's a couple links you can check into. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Just the normal range of power, mostly he rides down I-75 or I-90 I think it is to Florida alot and just cruising around places. Nothing extremely powerful at all.
Thanks
