You start life on a tricycle. You spend decades trying to get away from it. Then one day you discover you might have been onto something all along.
After more than fifty years riding motorcycles, from a Honda 350 at age sixteen to a Honda 750, a Gold Wing, and eventually a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, Frederick M. Hueston never imagined he would one day own a Harley Tri Glide.
At first, he resisted.
Three wheels? That was for other people.
Then age, experience, a few awkward parking lot moments, and a healthy dose of common sense changed his mind.
In From Two Wheels to Three, Fred shares his humorous and heartfelt journey from motorcycle traditionalist to proud trike owner. Along the way he tackles the questions every aging rider eventually asks:
• Am I getting too old for two wheels?
• Will my friends tease me?
• Is riding a trike really "giving up"?
• What should I look for on a test ride?
• Should I rent before I buy?
• Can you really ride the Tail of the Dragon on a trike?
Packed with funny stories, practical advice, and honest reflections on aging, pride, marriage, and the joy of continuing to ride, this book is for anyone who loves motorcycles and isn't quite ready to hang up their helmet.
Fred writes with the wisdom of someone who has ridden for decades and the humor of someone who can laugh at himself, especially when he realizes reverse gear and cup holders are among the greatest inventions of modern civilization.
Whether you ride a Harley, Honda, Can-Am, Gold Wing, or are simply curious about life on three wheels, this book will remind you of one important truth:
You don't stop riding because you get older.
You stop riding when you stop looking forward to the next adventure.
And Fred isn't done yet.
