Hello,
I am new to this forum (having only found it tonight.
Due to illness and old injuries, I have had to give up riding motorcycles after almost fifty years.
Bikes are in my soul though so I had to find an alternative.
I love the Kawasaki Drifter having owned several and found a VN 1500 Drifter Trike with expensive IRS conversion and believe it or not, a Porsche yellow expensive paint job. The bike was from the Isle of Man.
I have found though that I really struggle to reverse it and having severe arthritis in the legs and lung disease does not help. I do not want to give up on mellow and am desperately hoping that someone here knows how I can get some kind of reverse fitted. Any help very gratefully received

Welcome to the hospital for sick trikers.
The nurse will see you to a empty padded cell as soon as we wash down the walls. She'll bring the meds later but keep away from the green pills, and don't drool out of the windows as it upsets the locals..
