New Old Guy

[6X3]

Hi there. Been riding since '65, and the old body is getting tired of tossing bikes around. Being stuborn and not willing to give up riding, I just did a deal on a 2014 Motor Trike Razor on a 2012 wing with 7600 miles on it.

Not a rush to get on the road, as winter in Nebraska is underway. I will take delivery the first week of March.

I have a lot of questions and will be looking for opinions in the forums.

Hello Mitch and welcome to the website from the U.P. of Michigan. After you have put on a few thousand miles and gotten comfortable with your new trike you will wonder what took you so long. As a beginner, I suggest that you practice with your trike in an empty parking lot with a few cones. Start doing figure 8s so you get used to the wide rear end and turning both directions. If you hit a cone it's no big deal, but if you hit one of those yellow posts next to a fuel pump, it will cost you. If you ordered a rake kit on your trike it will act just like power steering, so if you didn't, then you can either get used to strong arm work or you can still get it put on. If you have any questions please feel free, all of us have been thru the same thing and aregglad to help.

Welcome from downtown Central Texas! Check out "Making the switch" in the General forum! It was what I used to help learn about moving from 2 to 3 wheels, read it many, many times while my trike was being converted. Remember to post often, ride safe and show us pictures!!

Welcome to TT, "New Old Guy". There are a bunch of us old timers here that had to give up 2 wheeler life for the trike life, usually because old age has taken a toll on the legs, knees, hips and back.

Almost forgot, some say old age has taken a toll on our brains but I doubt it. Age brings wisdom and some other good stuff.
