It's crossing my mind that perhaps this winter or next spring that I should sell Traveler and let someone else ride it into eternity. It's very hard to place a value on it as it's rare and it has some flaws but not many. It has a lot of plus marks too. I can't and won't respond to offers or low ballers. Watch the classified section and the bike sites. It still has under 7,000 miles on it. That will go up this fall and sale is contingent on wife's approval.

At 79 and soon to be 80 I know I'm facing the same thing in the not to distant future I feel for you friend.
I'm still on two wheels for now and feeling pretty lucky in that regard.
Figure if I ever( When) have to go to 3 wheels it'll be a VW conversion. VW is kinda' like Vics, bulletproof and easy to work on.
Nice looking unit you have there.
Hell, just have them bury it with you sitting on it.

Not a thing. It's the decline of America and the fact that I have made it to my "home turf" and it truly sucks. Surrounded by meth and insolent children not of my making (no manners, won't help out an elderly person) it's just pathetic what this area has become with what seems to be insurmountable corrupt government locally to the deteriorating infrastructure that tax dollars were allocated to fix but the local powers have been siphoning the funds off as administrative "costs".
Unfortunately for myself, I relied on my childhood memories of this area and it's people and that rose colored view has long since gone. I'm the eldest living member of my family. The rest don't care. I do get solace through my interaction with my church and it's members but the wind is my friend.
My wife is still in the Philippines and I'm disgusted with the State Department and their worthless minions here and in Manila. I've called my senator repeatedly and they refuse to return a phone call. They hide behind emails.
I just don't use the trike as much as I should. No wife, no life, no desire to ride without her.

I am lucky enough to have been raised by a military father and Christian woman. I sit here at my front door and I can see my Mother's headstone and my younger brothers too. Dad is in the national cemetery in Arlington, Washington DC. It's all good.
