Doesn't the wife ride with you on the trike?....or have you scared the dickens out of her, driving like a teenager.
I find it hard to get away on my Ural sidecar rig, without the wife and dog wanting to go. They enjoy it every bit as much as I do. Of course, it isn't fast or powerful by any means, and you can hardly hear the exhaust, over the clattering created by the Russian Mill.....but we've had some very memorable, 40 to 50 mile, summer evening, ice cream runs, on it. Still have, and ride, two 1200cc BMW's, plus the China scoot, but we're both in our early 70's, and realize our two wheeler days are numbered. Ya start on a three wheeler as a toddler, and wind up on one as a geezer. Life is a vicious circle...kinda funny.
No need to end a marriage over this. Maybe the wife could find an activity that better suits her, while you are riding. (Sewing club, Bridge, or other card game groups, Volunteer work at senior center or hospital)
After 53 years together, your wife has to know that bikes are in your blood.....that's not going to change no matter how old you are. Work it out.
