WD, i'm like 5' 10" and weighed a whoppin' 150lbs when I was healthy. Layed the Glide down slowly a couple times (while stopped, loose gravel underfoot once and oil on hot blacktop second) and managed to get it back up myself. After the cancer and chemo, i'm like a 12 year old in the strength factor and my bones have the density of a 70yr old woman. I have a trike system on it (tow-pac add a trike) and its easy peasy to ride now, just don't take 90 degree corners faster than 10miles an hour
.
The trike system can be removed by three bolts and a pin, takes about 10 min with a jack, you can order some front stabilizer feet from tow-pac for like 35 bucks, then you can do it without a jack.
I really just need to get rid of it before I decide to remove the trike kit and ride it like ol' times and end up hurting myself and the bike, its very tempting seeing as i'm getting slightly healthier.
I'm facing facts tho, getting older I won't get my total strength back so out the with the big and in with the small. I've already proven that i'm good with the savage on long trips (from florida to north Carolina), and that was one I did not have set up for me.
I figure with forward controls and a good seat, i'll be happy. So i'm going to butcher a savage to make it lighter and with forward controls, seat and a bigger gas tank it'll be just right.
