| We saw two this spring in KY and spoke to the owners. I'm too short to fork our '86 wing so need to look into either a Voyager or sidecar. Both owners were thrilled with their Voyagers and one had custom made fenders, too. Looked very nice and made the bike much steadier for either short people like me or those who for one reason or another have a problem holding up the weight of the bike and are too stubborn to give up riding. I thought the price was a little excessive, you can get a nice sidecar for the same price, but to each his own.

Well I have bought a voyager and I love it...it is so much fun... sturdy and seems safe... if you can't seem to hold up a bike, and don't want to give up riding your own m/c, then this is the way to go.

I had a Voyager on my Goldwing 1800, but was uncomfortable with the wheel lifting off the ground on cornering. I changed to a Insta-Trike about three years ago and couldn't be happier. It is much more stable that the Voyager. Also with the Voyager I couldn't open my bags all the way. With the Insta-Trike I can. I also have a large box on the back for extra storage. Now I've had practice I can get it off in 4 mins on in 6mins. It is rock solid around corners, and at $2800 it can't be beat.

| I have had an instatrike for 2 summers, and am very pleased with it. I have it mounted on a 1981 Hondamatic, and have had no problems at all. As the instructions indicate, you have to take the curves easy until you get used to the handling of it. Even as a beginner, I had little trouble with this. I have had it on rural roads to highways to 4 lanes, and it has performed great. It is an inexpensive way of having a trike and has allowed this beginner at the age of 58 to enter the world of motorcycling. I am considering having one mounted to a larger bike in the near future. Ride on, whatever it takes!!
