The Copperhead is home!!

[Greydog]

OK folks...here's a couple photos of the Copperhead!! Betty and I rode about 100 miles today and I friggin' love it!! She's not quite as happy as I am 'cause she says she feels like she's gonna fall off!! She just has to learn like me...It ain't on two wheels any more. She'll come around eventually...I'm already there...it's GREAT!!! Gonna get better for both of us the more we ride it. It's different but my confidence builds more with each mile. If I could talk like the Sailor I really am you'd know how much I really like this bike. Hope you like the photos!! Thank each and every one of you for your input and suggestions.....You're great folks...wish I could meet you all!!

Wow what a great looking trike, it will only get better as time goes on.. Betty will get used to it. that is funny normally the driver has a harder time getting used to it than the passenger....
Great job, love the pictures...
Ride safe and enjoy....

Real nice looking Trike Greydog! Betty will learn to Love it more with each ride. My wife says that she sees more on the Trike now, as she is more relaxed.........

NICE LOOKING TRIKE, You no what would really help your passengers is a set of passenger hand rails It seems odd that you do not have them from the factory ? Like you said IT GETS BETTER EVERY MILE.

Beautiful! I second the idea about the hand rail. They really help. When I rode on the back of mine, it did feel like a side to side motion and I really was glad I had the hand rails.

Congrads on the new baby. I knew the anniversary color would look good on a trike.:yes:

You made a very good decision on your mods, I'm jealous

Enjoy riding all you can before the cold hits you.

Niiiiice trike Greydog! I have liked that color since the MoFoCo came out with it a few years ago. Looks great on the trike.

As far as Betty having the feeling she will fall off, my wife felt much the same way. The grab bar is a good tip, but the 'Wing has very stout handles on either side of the seat, but they didn't work for Gloria. You might look to a place called eGlideGoodies for passenger arm rests. They can swing in , giving her arm rests and a feeling of something around her to keep her from falling off. Worked great for my co-rider. Improves comfort and security at the same time.

Another suggestion is that you not use a rider backrest (if you have one) until she gets comfortable on the trike. Have her hang on to you - she will feel that you are relaxed and confident, and it will transmit to her.
