    I am a 1971 model, so 42 this year.
    Eyesight is quickly deteriorating.
    Recovery time after injury, drinking, or just a normal day keeps getting longer.
    Naps are becoming more frequent and longer.
    Blood pressure is starting to creep up.
    It's all downhill from here boys. Good thing we have our trikes to keep us young!!

    Look at it this way: I'm 18 and my vision is half of what it was 2 years ago.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    Hi fructose 'corn sugar', trans fats and tylenol are the
    top few we've been exposed to.
    Lots of these problems didn't exist a generation or 2 ago.
    Dr OZ had a show that, well showed, wheat, in the last 10 years will spike blood sugar
    more intensely than a candy bar.

    Glasses? me too.
    I think I jhave night blindness in the daytime.

    Going to be 48 this May...don't know how that is possible. Had glasses since I was 12, but my right eye is getting better. Don't really need glasses now for distance, but
    have to put them on to read close up.

    JB2wheels I like the attitude your Dad has. Hell I've been in some kind of pain or another since I was a kid so it doesn't bother me at all now.
    Just something different. The day I don't have any pain I figure is the day I'll be dead.
    "See, morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like. "

    Trikes:
    1982 Honda ATC250R(in process), 1984 Honda ATC110, 1984 Honda 200s, 1985 Kawasaki KLT160(not running...yet)
    Quads:
    1990 Suzuki LT250S, 2013 Suzuki LT-Z400, 2014 Honda TRX450R SE

    I'm amazed at how many people here grew up with the 3 wheelers, I figured there would be more younger ones because they don't have much money and normally 3 wheelers are quite a bit cheaper than a quad (how I got mine... and started it). I'm 25 now, started 3 wheeling around 20, left my quad to rot over a 84 200es because I never had to work on it, started easy, and was just funner to drive... Oh glasses, yea... since 6th grade, near sighted, but I'm happy to be, I work with small stuff all the time, soldering, electronics, etc, since being near sighted normally means you can actually see clearer closer up than average people.

    Get the reading glasses from CVS . Yeah and as time goes on your eyes will get weaker. Plus the computer screens really do a major number on your eyes.
    We are getting to be old farts that never grew up. That's why we ride these crazy machines. LoL

    I'll be the 1st to admit that I sold an 85 and 86 200X when I was about 17. Got back into trikes in 1997 and I felt allot more safe on them that my 94 CR250. It kept making me crash Trikes are far safer I feel
