Turned 69 and my knees ain't what they used to be. Can't always hold up the BMW k1200lt anymore. Can still operate on the road with no trouble, just can't always hold it up when I stop. Should I give up riding? I think this is great if it will work on the BMW. What is more embarassing, falling over at a stop or having those (training) wheels come down. Been riding all my life.

Product liability alone would scare the begeezus out of me 'cuz you know you'll get sued every time someone takes a tumble equipped with this contraption. They sue everyone, lol.

I have fuzzy memories of hitting gravel on a skateboard at speed, and have a feeling those small wheels will have similar issues as a skateboard does. Was I going 10mph or less, or way faster on that skateboard? Felt faster, but I'm guessing. The real world is not the pristine smooth, gravel and hole less parking lot depicted in the picture.
