Of my first 1,000 miles on 3 wheels. Actually, almost 1100 about now. But, who's counting right?

I should have done this YEARS ago!!

Remembering how relaxing a ride is. Even going to work, am totally relaxed to start my day. Going home gets me relaxed from whatever BS came up during the day. The ability to really take in the smells in the air from the Honeysuckle on the back roads to the house, the smells of baking stuff as I pass Dolly Madison & Kelloggs, even the not so nice ones. All sounds that much clearer-birds singing, dogs barking even kids playing in their yards. The feeling of the wind in my face, blowing my beard up into my mouth, even with the windshield. Will never tire of getting compliments on the Road Star even from the Harley and Honda guys. Yeah, she's dirty but, good weather is for riding. She'll get cleaned on a rainy day. The stress relief is priceless. When I'm feeling down, I just get out and take a ride till I get feeling better. I'm definitely more aware of my surroundings on the trike than I am in my cars or trucks. Oh yeah,,,,,the constant smile as I ride down the road! :D Also priceless! Did I say, I should have done this YEARS ago?? :pepper::pepper::pepper:
 
Amen to what Fuzzy said. I demoed a trike in 12 and could not stand it. Bought a 14 limited and liked it. Buddy bought himself a trike and I rode it about 50 miles. traded my new then 14 limited for a 14 TG. I will never go back to 2 wheels
 
Since I got into 3 wheeling several years ago I can honestly say I've never met one trike rider that ever has said they wished they had remained on 2 wheels. Some have kept a 2 wheeler but none have ever regretted the 3 wheel purchase.

I ditto everything you said. I'm only at 300 on mine but I feel the exact same way. Why didn't I get my own and a trike years ago??? My mind clears of all the daily clutter and I enjoy the view and the world just like you do. I can't stop smiling (although I do keep the mouth shut now when smiling...those darn bugs!) The feeling on 3 is totally priceless. My main worries now are Is there going to be enough years and time to keep enjoying the trike and Will I be able to afford to replace this one when I wear it out. :laugh:
