Hello new trike rider

[MontereyJack]

Hi everyone I have been checking out this site for awhile and since I just got a Trike though I would join. I have been riding for a long time (motorcycles) like 50 years. I bought a sidecar rig in 05 and that is very different kind of a ride. I bought a 2014 Harley trike last month and now have 1600 miles on it. I have put a lift kit and trunk raiser on it and had a set of CVO mufflers left over from my CVO RK. I find the ride on highways to be great. I did a couple of hundred mile ride in the twisty road in the mountains of Santa Cruz Ca. My arms were so pumped up from that. The front end is real easy to push around. I found that the trike does not turn well off throttle and likes it better to slow before the turn and i power through the turns. I will be looking to do ungraded to this trike.
Thank you

Jack, Welcome to TT from your Texas fellow members!!! Sounds like you have a good handle on the trike and are well on you way to making it your own. Twisty riding is my favorite but it sure wares a body out.

There is a gob of experience here and our members are always willing to share. We hope you also pass on your stories and knowledge. TrikeTalk is by far the best trike focused bulletin board and you’ll find the members and admin folks the friendliest there are.

When you get settled in, check out Trike Owners International, T.O.I., you may find it a good fit.

Again, WELCOME !!! :xszpv::xszpv:
