I too made history last season in Road Racing with AHRMA. Along with three other women, this was the first time in the 30 year history of AHRMA that a woman has won a class championship. I won the Vintage Superbike Lightweight. I now get to race with 1z as my number.

My husband and I started riding in 2005, me behind him, then in 2007 I got my Heritage Softail Classic. When the economy started to fall we sold his Ultra Classic with the decision to share my bike. Sharing has its downfalls, since I feel like I'm not riding as often as I like. Now my husband has a medical condition that causes some potential safety issues. So now I don't ride with him. As I'm reading this issue more than a few times I have noticed that women are choosing to ride a trike. It has always been my theory that it would not feel same, that riding with three wheels under you would lessen the ride.

I am rethinking this, a bit wondering if we shouldn't ride a trike or a Can-Am, more for his safety. I'm 60 now and maybe this would make a better choice for both of us. Does anyone have any input on this subject? What are the reasons for riding a trike over a motorcycle?
