Get it converted if you aren't comfortable on two anymore.  I have had
the chance to ride side hacks and trikes.  Both have their headaches.
Both beat not riding.

I don't really like the heavy weight tourers anymore.  I feel like they
have gotten so much heavier.  I finally sold the '03 Roadglide (my
wife's bike) to a cousin a couple years ago, but its 880ish pound curb
weight is a freaking lot.  I seem to recall my old '97 FLHT (was only in
the 660-700 range.  Maybe its just remembering how much stronger I used
to be.  LOL.  I don't remember any of my Goldwings being that heavy
either.  (75 GL1000 x 2 and 84 GL1200).  I would mind scoring another
old (75 or 76) GL1000, but I probably wouldn't ride it much.  I tried to
keep riding after my wreck, but... I get antsy after about 30-40 minutes
and can't wait to get it back in the garage.  Doesn't stop until the
kick stand is down and it rocks over.  I don't have anything with even
remotely current tags now.  I think the Vulcan Mean Streak was last
tagged in 2015.
