I need to sign up for Medicare in the next couple months and was
wondering if anyone had words of wisdom to offer.
And one more thing, Medicare doesn't apply when you are out of the USA,
and aiui all of the supplemental plans only apply when Medicare applies.

That's one thing I don't have to consider. There is so much to
see and do
in the U.S. that traveling outside the country doesn't appeal to me. I
have a trike and
riding that thing is a completely different experience that in a closed
vehicle.
How do you like it? I getting close to the point where three wheels

It's a 900 Vulcan. It's big enough to get me around at legal

Some have a scheme for reverse using an electric motor. You don't
realize it driving a car but there are parking places that aren't
exactly level. The city has some diagonal parking areas. With the crown
on city streets it can be quite a slope down toward the curb. Nothing
like trying to paddle backwards on an 800 pound bike. I always back in
for a quick getaway.
