My right hand thumb is still only about 80 Percent operational. That is bad enough. Perish the thought of the arm. Well I mentioned the side car Ural to my friend. Once he stopped rolling on the floor with tears coming down his eyes with laughter routine, he told me I was nuts. He is probably right. Going to learn everything I can about side cars and motorcycles before I go any further. At this point, still no clue what I want or need. I was going to get a Kawasaki Vulcan 900 originally, and then I fell in love with the Triumph. I am worried that the Vulcan is half the bike that I had. After reading plenty of reviews, I think I may be right.

I know guys that have been hit on mopeds, they were driving like idiots. I would give my left smurfcicle for a Triumph.
Yes, and if you don't care about insurance rates.I have no interest in racers. I am more attracted to the older classic style motorcycles.
how about a bmw trike? (Image removed from quote.)
I think a Royal Enfield 500cc might be just what the doctor ordered mate And being a light weight bike, with sorted off road geometry not to mention grip finding power pulses from the single cylinder engine, you've a perfect year round bike, even during a Canadian winter

Sadly not many bikes do
It would be nice to have a gauge I think...but a low fuel light would be grand. The America didn't even have that
A little ducktape will fix those right up.
That is a nice classic.I do know that whatever I get, it had better have a fuel gauge. A fuel gauge is a must, something that my America didn't have.
