Hey All;
I'm going to test ride a trike next week and if all goes well I'll be riding it home. I am going to put out some questions hoping I can get some real honest help/direction from all you experienced trike folks.
The machine is a 2002 Honda G/W;
I understand that there is a lot of upper body strength involved riding a trike, I have been working on my upper body . How long do you suggest I ride before taking a break ?
What are the recommended tire pressures front and rear ( don't want to start any rants please)
My trip home according to Map Quest will take about 4 hrs ( 237) miles That's mostly freeway. I figure on adding at least another hour with breaks at each 100 miles , is that realistic ??
Being a life long rider ( but have not taken any long trips lately) I'm pretty sure I can do all the safety checks on the machine. It's my first trike so any ( and I mean ANY ) helpful tips are really appreciated
Thanks for any help, Doug
