Well I can't ride the America any longer or until my left hip stops hurting, it hurts all the time.
I don't want to chance my hip and leg going out from under me when I park.
I'm 69 with both hips replaced.
Rig, hip in June 2008, left hip in July 2019.
its the left hip that cant bear much weight.
Due to the pain I can't walk 1/4 miles.

maybe the seating position doesn't suit you anymore and you need to try a standard or adventure bike to get your feet under you?
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

That's too bad and interesting. Your hip should be well healed by now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t30NU_v5YcMI was thinking of this for that day but apparently the business is gone, too bad it looks like a fine product.

What makes you say they are out of business? There is a 2025 yelp page and FB post that they moved to a new location in 2022. I don't know they are still in business, just wondered what made you think they were not.

A company that tracks companies shows them as out of business. Hopefully not or that someone else will pick up the product I think it’s brilliant for people that want to ride a big bike albeit a cruiser or a long distance runner like a Goldwing.
Piagio had/has a scooter with this system and Yamaha make a smaller CC bike with the same technology and i hear they go around corners like they are on rails with two front tires for grip
