Training Wheels...

noche_caliente · September 6th, 2010, 04:33 PM

First one was a lady, second seemed to be hubby maybe?

But seriously? Riding with training wheels? These are not trikes - if you look carefully, you can see the back wheel is still there...

Wow. Kewl pics. Never knew those were an option.

CC Cowboy · September 6th, 2010, 04:38 PM

They only come on Gold Wings. Now you know why they don't wave.

Snake · September 6th, 2010, 04:44 PM

If ou are going for a trike then you should go all the way.

darrell85 · September 6th, 2010, 04:53 PM

I hate those. There is a harley in my town with those.

WindMeUp · September 6th, 2010, 05:00 PM

More often then not the people using them are crippled in some way, I see a guy allot on my way to work with a Burgman 650 with those and a custom holder for his crutches.

Do they let you lean? If so, they're automatically superior to a trike.
It would be cool if they folded up at high speeds and came down under 10mph or so.

hmmmm...that's.....strange.....speaking of disabled people riding...don't remember where i saw it, but i saw a guy racing, i think he was paralyzed from the waist down, feet were clipped to the pegs, and he had arm sliders...it was awesome...maybe i saw that on here? will have to utilize the search button...

He came out to one of our track days this summer. Not only can he ride, he was one of the faster guys on the track!

Blackwidow · September 7th, 2010, 09:44 AM

seriously, if you need freaking training wheels on your bike, then maybe you shouldn't be riding in the first place. jeeez! lol

2WheelGuy · September 7th, 2010, 09:54 AM

Yesterday one of my buddies at the track had a birthday. We got to talking that neither of us had a contingency plan for living this long. If things keep going like this we may NEED training wheels on our bikes one day. Training wheels and a rack for our walkers

kkim · September 7th, 2010, 12:43 PM

lol... odd, yes, but I bet any of you that have crashed your bikes wished you had installed a set of these training wheels on your bike the minute after your crash.

This guy has my respect....

As for the bikes above with the 'training wheels', if they need them due to being handicapped, then by all means, do what you gotta do to ride

. Have heard folks say these guys/gals have no business riding

Takes a lot of heart to get out and keep living life when faced with some of the obstacles these folks have.

That's pretty cool!

Are both of these videos the same guy? I know the bikes were not the same.

k-os · September 7th, 2010, 07:44 PM

No they're not. The first one is a video I remembered seeing earlier and the second one is just one I found when I searched youtube.

There was a dude at Road Atlanta this Monday rippin around the track. Very cool sett-up and very inspiring seeing him out there.

He did have a mishap after lunch, he was choppered out. My heart just sunk when I had seen it was him. So some prayers out for him and family, hope all is well.
