welcome aboard Johnny. Take it easy and remember what you are wider in the rear then before. After several hundred miles it will get comfortable.

Welcome to the forum from frozen Pennsylvania 15 degrees this morning brrrr. Check tire pressures 36-37 front and 22-23 in back Air shocks depends with weight of rider and passenger good start 25 Lbs. I use the push and pull method for steering works for me. Find a large empty parking lot and practice turns and stopping just to get the feel of these great machines. More the miles bigger the smiles, just don't ride faster than your Angel can Fly. :good: ride safe Fred

Listen to your elders and take it easy for a while. I'm a newby myself with a 2014 Triglide purchased in April this year. It was quite a change to begin with but after 5000 miles it's second nature. My wife absolutely loves the trike. We rode for 3 hours one day before she even got off. That never happened on our bike. Enjoy your new ride!

Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride, Johnny! Comfort with how trikes handle increases as riding miles increase. Just ride at your own comfort level as you get the hang of it. Trikes are a blast!

Welcome aboard,and give the trike some time.Some folks say they have mastered it in a few hundred miles some more.Myself it took over 2000 before i got truly comfortable with it.

Welcome from another newbie. I must say I was aprehensive about transitioning from two to three wheels. But after the first ride and getting out of the driveway and the neighborhood I gotta tell you I took right to it. Now after about 2,500 miles I don't even remember what it's like to ride on two wheels. I really love my Tri-Glide and I think you will too!

We had to go to 3 wheels because of a bad hit and run in Chicago in may of 2015 which busted us up pretty good. I broke my left leg and can't trust it to hold up the GoldWing any more. So in Aug. of 2015 we bought a 2012 GL1800 with a Lehman Monarch II conversion. We have really enjoyed it and have put close to 30,000 miles on it already Took some getting used to triking it after 27 years of 2 Wheeling but am now really comfortable on the trike and we both enjoy the ride.

Enjoy the forum as we do because there are great people here and always great information on anything you need for triking and travelling
