Be patient and ride it, more. You will get the hang of it. Have you read this, thoroughly?

Yep it takes most about 500 to 1000 miles to get the hang of it. Then in a little while longer it is second nature. Then the real fun begins

If you have no experience on an Atv it can be kind of difficult at first. Like others have said, be patient. Big empty parking lots that you can play around with figure eights and stuff are very helpful. A few weeks from now you will be a pro. Until then take it slow.

Don't put your foot down at stops.... And steer wide at gas pumps...And if you go to Jersey and gas up don't run over the gas jockeys feet with your rear tires, Habib kinda frowns on that...

Now that's funny... If you've been there, I guess...

I've had my Tow-Pac equipped Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 for three years and 15,000 miles. Wouldn't trade it for anything.Took a few rides to catch onto it since I had no experience on more than two wheels; but really enjoy riding it. Not too bad for a 73 year old goat....old dogs can learn new tricks.

Like all the above with adding:

Approach your turns a lot slower. It's hard to do sharp turns at the speed that you used to do on a two wheeler. The g-force on a bike is toward the axle. On a trike, it's to the side. I'm still learning that.

I had a TowPac. Got a full trike a couple years ago.

Questions?
