Not a triker, yet

[Wine_r]

Hi Y'all, <br />
Have a GL1800 that I really like. Let me explain....I have bought 4 motorcycles in the last 2 years trying to find a riding position that I can be comfortable after about an hour. I didn't know what was wrong but was just diagnosed with Rhuemitoid Arthritis, explaining all the discomfort.<br />
I dont know how long I will be able to ride on 2 wheels but am just trying to learn about the trike setups so I dont make the really dumb mistakes. I am used to making the kinda dumb ones.<br />
I am just here to learn a little, so please excuse the dumb questions. I am sure the answers are all here I just dont know where to look yet. TIA<br />

Welcome Steve! RA certainly does explain your discomfort!!! Sorry to hear that. But a trike should make a lot of things easier for you with riding. No need to put your feet down and balance a heavy bike, and with the reverse added, you can maneuver with a touch of a button! No questions are "dumb". You are better off to get your answers from those who build and ride every day before you make some mistakes that cost you later!!!<br />
So ask away <img src="images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" class="inlineimg" />

Welcome to the board... The best advice I can give U about trikes is to ride all of them.. All the manf. are good but the way a trike rides makes it more for the person who is riding it.. Some love their CSC, some love their Motortrikes and no one wants to tell U they wished they had chosen a different manf. So ride all the ones U can to make sure it fits u... However a trike might not be the answer to ur medical condition.. U r still sitting on the same seat just not having to balance it.. U might look at the Motortrike Stallion to see if it is something U would like..
Good luck and keep us informed...
