Greetings to all, I have had bikes all my life. Currently have a ultra classic Harley, a 1100 yamaha vtwin, a 750 Honda shadow, and a bunch of classic cars.

I just test drove my first trike, a 95 goldwing se, it comes with a matching trailer. Made a purchase agreement and will pick it up Tuesday.

I wanted a 1800 but they are above my current budget.

I got the set for 11.5k, 90k miles. It has been well kept and rode great.

Now I gotta learn all about it. I do all my own wrenching, paint etc...

Welcome to TrikeTalk, Ray! Sounds as though you got a great trike and trailer. Allow yourself 200 - 500 miles of riding to get completely comfortable with the difference in steering, but once you are you will not be able to wipe that smile off your face! :D
Oh yes.... don't put your feet down, and consciously watch out for the wide rear end at gas pumps, etc.!!!!
 
Welcome to the gang Ray. You won't regret the trike. When I started having trouble holding the wing up (bad knees) and wanted to go to a trike the wife bout had a stroke. Now that she is retired and has lots of time to ride while I work :cool: she loves the trike because with the wing she couldn't ride if I didn't ride. Now she does PGR and Run for the Wall and all kinds of stuff I can't do.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes.<br />
<br />
I tried to upload a pics. I have my phone set on lowest quality and size, the album gate keeper here told me my file size was too big. I upload pics daily at trifive.com daily, that forum looks exactly like this one.<br />
<br />
Will try to research it. I just uploaded this pic to trifive, I will see if it works here.<br />

<br />
Will find the right place to post pics when I get it.<br />
<br />
I think this is a hannigan trailer, it has a garment bag under kid, an ice chest covered in leather in front, and snap on leather in front of box.<br />

Hi Ray and welcome. I live in Orangevale. Maybe we'll be able to meet up some time.<br />
I'm always looking for more trikes out here. My trike is back in the paint shop at the moment. Hopefully only another week or so and I'll have it back. <br />
