Default First Trip on new Trike

Left at 530 am Saturday morning to meet my brother in Nashville.Took off for Bowling green,Ky.to flea market for coats ,chaps and gloves.Trike is such a joy to ride,We talked via cb off and on and just getting the feel of how everything works.Quality of the bike and everything on it is just great.Harley hit a home run with the Trike.400 miles of nuttin but pure pleasure.Lots of power and rode just as I thought it would,Set the cruise at 78 mph and just listened to the pipes and looked at all the pretty leaves that are turning colors.I didnt realize how much I had missed riding till yesterday

If you havn't figured it out yet, push down with the outside foot when going through a curve. It will help you stay centered in the saddle.
And you're right about it being a home run... The wife & I spent over 14 hours in the saddle last summer riding from VA to KCKS!
