I don't plan on going too fast either and I want something easy to load on my trailer. The idea of a motorcycle is to ride it: not carry it around on a trailer. I have a 1300cc Can Am. There's no worries about getting both feet on the ground unless you are dismounting. -- ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- https://piaohong.s3-us-west-2.amazon...net/index.html So, y'all have a three wheel girlie bike.
