| Hi everybody! I am a former cruiser rider but encountered lower back problems and couldn't throw my leg over the seat without severe pain and then try go go on a ride. Sold the bike and invested in a 2012 Silver Wing with 8,000 miles on it. Now with the step through  mounting much less pain on the rides. This machine is so comfortable and FAST. We have interstate speeds of 75 MPH and I can easily keep up with the Harleys in the group. WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING? |

| Welcome Grumpy to the BEST SWing forum on the net. I have an 08 SWing that's been triked out with a Motor Trike kit. I rode with the Dry Riders club before I had the trike kit put on. A couple of the members kind of looked sideways at the SWing but once we got on the highway and I kept up with them very easily they didn't look sideways at it no more. It's a great scoot!! |
