New Tri Glide Owner

[Bagman1]

Hello everybody, Just wanted to touch base to say high,been a 2 wheeler for the past 43 years and now have went to 3. I am still a little gun shy of the 3 wheels versus the 2, (bike don't lean), but hopefully I will get used to it. I have been looking as this forum for the past month or so and you guys and gals have a lot of information here !. Anyway just wanted to add my .02 worth.

WELCOME TO TT!ThumbUp

It won't take you long to get used to being on 3. Figure 8's in parking lots are a good way to get used to it.

Welcome from Kentucky!

I went 40 years on 2 wheels before switching to 3. I too was not a fan of the 'non-lean' of a trike at first. I've substituted that with scooting around corners and curves without slowing down (much). Trikes will hold a curve at pretty much whatever speed you have the nuts to do it at. Especially if you put handlebars on that are longer and have a closer reach. That gives you so much more leverage, plus it cuts down on shoulder pain. At least, it did for me.

I'm with you. I love the curves on my trike its like a slot car.
