How to have fun at lunch time

Park the trike in front of your favorite fast food resteraunt

oh i can so relate to that.. here a trike is extremely rare. so i always see surprised and amazed little faces with necks screwed right around waving and franticly telling their parents whats behind.. i guess the parents have a hard time telling the kids not to look at the bad biker, funny that gangs call themselves 1%ers, but the other 99% have to live with the stigma. i personally have no drama with kids climbing on the trike as long as the parents dont mind, i feel its my bit towards showing the general public not all harley riders are evil on wheels, and the kids love it.
many people have a bad misconception about harleys here.
kids dont judge like that. they are just fascinated by the difference

I like this idea! I'm going to do it at the local Frosty Boy this evening when youth baseball teams come after their games.

I live fairly close to an elementary school. I ride by it many times. If there are kids in the playground or on the road they cheer, wave, give me the thumbs up. I've stopped a few times to give them a closer look. They love it. I have many tattoos' and quite long hair. They don't judge me or fear me at all.

When I had my heart attack, the paramedic's asked me at least 6 times if I smoke pot. Judging me by looks or what? My first "no" wasn't good enough for them. They should learn from the kids.

Got a haircut and while I was there a 17-18 year old autistic boy was also getting his hair cut. I noticed how his face lit up when he saw the trike. After he was done, I asked his mom if it would be ok if I asked him if he would like to sit on it. She said "I bet he would be thrilled". I took him out side and let him sit on Blue Man. He was beaming. Then I asked him if he wanted me to start it up. He gave me a thumbs up. I told him to sit behind me and get ready. I started it up...and he put his hands over his ears.

But from the look on his face he loved it. I shut it off and he gave me a thumbs up..but he didn't get off. I asked him if he wanted me to rev it up..and he gave me another thumbs up. I started it up and revved it up...he was jumping up and down on the seat with one hand over one ear and the other doing a thumbs up. This is why I own a Harley..no other way to describe the feeling.

Could be said about ANY trike..or bike.
