Also much cheaper than other trikes. HD's trike is $34,000, and I'm amazed how many I see. I'd definitely like to try the Spyder sometime.

LOL. I'm sure he meant the bags. The trike looks in good shape, though. He could still be using it to tote stuff around. It's what they were designed for, after all.
