Check with thee local AMA ... trike safety courses are getting more and more popular.

start with your local HD dealership. they have new and experience rider programs for two and three wheels. they are MSF approved at my dealership.

If you've been riding 2 wheels for any length of time, I don't think you really need any training.

Just remember
1 don't put your feet down
2 watch how you pull into a gas station - you're wider
3 Smile a lot
4 hit pot holes etc. with the front wheel and not the rear wheels = a lot less shimming of the bike.

Large vacant Parking lot

epper:Find a large parking lot and play with the machine, stopping, turning, parking, remember reverse is a backup assist. don't wear it out!!!:gah:
Do figure eights get a few friends together and practice possibly get local dealer may bring munchies make it an event.

The more the miles bigger the smiles ThumbUp ride safely fearless

Just a side note - I believe both WA and Ore. both have classes for trikes but NO such thing here in CA.
Think it's a GREAT idea (vice all of us 'ole self taught' types)........:clapping:

For some advice from experienced riders, check out this thread:

Lots of good information and tips there. A state approved training course isn't a bad idea either, most insurance gives discounts for taking the course, usually put on by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF).
