Welcome Bluey and ditto on the pic. That is my favorite avitar pic of the month.
By 800 Km you should start feeling more comfortable on the trike. And don't forget to completely forget about "counter-steering" from the 2-wheel world.

Bluey, welcome to the best and friendliest trike forum on the internet. My experience was the more i rode the more comfortable I got on my first trike. Pretty soon its as natural as riding a two wheeler. The trike become part of you or you become part of the trike. I am not sure which.

Welcome to the group, just remember when you switch back to a two wheeler you have to put your feet down

Mate, going through exactly the same thing here in NZ. Getting a mate to show me what to do, Baz from this site. Didn't help that I pranged on the way home the first time. Will get there, just got to push through the nerves. Went to the reference above too. Will read it tomorrow before I go for a ride. Happy Father's Day, presume it is the same there as in NZ. Ian.

Hi to ya Bluey!
Welcome aboard from fabulous Las Vegas! My 1st bit of advice and it's served me well from the kind soul that passed it on to me was.... DON'T PUT YOUR FEET DOWN! You can easily run over your own foot and that's got to be hella embarrasing!
Enjoy your ride and welcome!
