All that I ride now is the Trike so I don't have the get use to it again when I get on it.

You also need to retrain your brain on steering a trike. Remember...YOU DO NOT COUNTER STEER. Go to a parking lot or other open area with no traffic and practice quick turn maneuvers. Helps to program the brain not to counter steer in a real emergency.
