What Made You Join TrikeTalk Forum?

[Mykneesbehurtin]

I belong to a Road Glide site also and i met some very good folks on there we would have an yearly meet and greet for the people from Ohio and surrounding states plus there were lots of knowledgeable folks for answering questions.So when i converted to 3 wheels i went searching for the same thing but about trikes and i have found it.

I came from a spyder forum....god forbid you were critical of the spyder for any reason. You would be attacked by the forum groupies. That was while i had my spyder...lol.....so imagine once I changed rides how it got to be. Endless drama unless you held the line. Political threads there always ended with the thread being shut down.....

Haven't seen any of that here and with many different rides on this forum, there seems to be a lot more respect for everyone.
Just a lot more fun and less drama here...So y'all are stuck with me.....for now...

After a break of over 15 years, I restarted motorcycling last year with a Wide Glide, had a lot of fun and made 7500 miles in this year.
But this Easter, I had a problem with my sense of balance - no more motorcycling - but I don’t wanted to give it up.

This lead me to a trike and because I liked my Wide Glide, it lead me into a Tri Glide Ultra.
I am member of a German Harley Davidson forum, but it seems, that I am the only one triker there and also seems trikes are a rare species here in Germany, particular the bike conversions.

Google was my friend and lead me to this nice place in the web, where it is very colorful because of all the different types of trikes represented and it is a very pleasant atmosphere.
Why is this such a pleasant peace of web?

Remember the three requirements for a triker - elder / disabled / female
I think because of the many elder people here, they bring their good manners from the real world in this virtual space and I like this!

I can’t participate in all boards here, because of my lack of knowledge about the american way of life, actual social topics and politics, besides that you elect a new president in the near future and the other things, that appear in our news and newspaper, and sometimes the limits of my English (reading and writing here is a good training).
But that does not matter, I like this place and got a lot of profit, thanks for this!

A riding buddy told me about this site. The people here are Great and friendly. Nobody tries to put you down. I've been on other sites they don't seem to be as friendly. This site has a wide selection of subjects and I enjoy the "Whats for Supper" and BBQ Grilling forum the most.

Keep doing what your doing, this is a Great site.epper:

The American and German people may have differences in our cultures but we both have the same love of two and three wheels,so that makes us all brothers and sisters in our hearts and souls.

I was a member of a motorcycle forum that was 99.9% two wheelers. After we triked our ride I was looking for a trike forum and in looking up another trike forum a friend suggested I found Trike Talk. I liked the respect everyone on here has for one another even with all the different brands of rides, opinions on things and backgrounds.

Trike Talk is simply the best forum going!!! ThumbUp

 

[Uncle Willie]

Why join another site?

Looking for 2 things in particular. 1: It wasn't
eat up with someone wanting to sell me something.
2: The riders had an IQ higher than their shoe size, asked valuable questions and gave good
and useful answers.

Haven't been disappointed yet!

With my clown size feet, that would make me a cross between Einstein & Hawking.
And to quote Groucho. Always be wary of any group that would let you (me) in as a member.:qpnmt:

Well lets see.... When I first started thinking about buying a trike, I googled TRIKE, and luckily I found this sight ! I go on it every day. Some times several times a day. I have learned a lot, and met a lot of nice people. Everyone seems to want to help if you have any questions or concerns. I can see why this is the #1 Trike sight on the internet ThumbUp

 

[xlt]

great site for all questions trike related

This is the best site for all trike related questions and stories.

Like many others, Google was my friend, when we first started thinking about a trike I found this site and joined before we even got one. One of the things that drew me in was the diversity of subjects being covered even though I rode a Harley, there are many knowledgeable folks on here covering a lot of topics. As a plus, no flame wars, and a very civil attitude from everyone, we all like to ride and I think it shows in how the board is conducted.

Kudos to Papa Zook who did a lot of work to get this site running and set the groundwork for the absolute best Trike site on the web. ThumbUp

 

[Bubba49]

I joined because you guys are a heck of a lot more friendly than the a-holes at HD Forums.....

Discovered there wasn't much info out there about trikes. I knew more about the Freewheeler than the dealer. Did a Google search and came across this site after visiting several others. TRIKETALK was far and away the best organized, most informative, with the most genuine and helpful people. I continue to learn from this group and was especially glad to see the ENABLED RIDERS forum. Since I'm a right A/K amputee, it's great to get input from people in similar circumstances. Don't even bother going to other forums anymore.

 

[Ozarkryder]

February of 2008 I was lurking on the GWRRA trike forum. Someone mentioned there was a new site for trikes, so I looked it up. Thought it was a neat little forum, not many members. (Yet!) Joined up thinking as we have been triking since 1992 I might be able to help someone and hopefully learn something, too. This isn't a small forum anymore, (I am member # 101, the latest as this is written at 10:54 9/23/2016 is RimmaKet, #23998.)This place has grown to the friendliest, most informative and largest trike forum I know.

 

[desertclassic]

I had just bought the triglide and I was looking for info on trikes. I saw a post on the HD Forums that had a comment about TT. I am sure glad I looked TT up. I don't think I would of made it in the trike world without TT. Jim

@TGCarol: Thanks for the flowers, I have a good dictionary

This is the spirit of this community and one of the reasons why I like it so much ThumbUp

I'm really too old to remember and thought I'd better stay cause I'd never remember how to get back. Further I met Randy and his lovely bride at the Hannigan Anniversary bash last year and am glad I stayed. I read daily when at home. I belong to 2 others and Trike Talk is by far the most active and informative. I shall return if I can remember....HaHa. I hope to attend one of the future gatherings and meet some of you.
Ride Safe. Doc ThumbUp

 

[Shadow Dreamer]

Think back to the first time....you were surfing the web and we caught your eye. You checked us out and there was just something about us, yes? Was it our dashing good looks? Our brilliant sense of humor? Our endless cache of technical information? Or were you just bored one night and found the lights on? Maybe alchohol was involved.... :blush:

OK seriously....what was it that you liked most about the forum that made you want to join?

oh...seriously? I was looking for a forum of builders who not only did custom trikes but also the store-bought models with the intent that there should be an excellent knowledge base.

....you can all stop laughing now.

While attending an event and watching my friend lay his bike over with his wife on board in the parking lot, I decided to have mine triked. While waiting on the work to be finished I researched trike operation and came across this wonderful site with a wealth of information. Now I am hooked on both.

 

[DK Custom Products]

This is what got me to Trike-Talk-

While laid up in bed for 6 months, I knew that, for touring, a Trike was in my future.

It did not take long on Google to see that TrikeTalk was where I would learn the most.

When I first joined, it was not as DK Custom Products, and I was not looking at Harley Trikes.

I spent quite a bit of time learning about VW Trikes, and more than a little time reading all I could about the Rewaco's.

In the end, Harley won out (probably because at DK Custom that is what we concentrate on)...BUT before I was even walking without a cane I had purchased a Dyna to convert into a Trike.

BUT, while I was still using a cane we test rode a Tri-Glide. I sold the Dyna, and the rest is history.

Trike Talk Rocks!

why I joined trike talk ?????

I had just put a champion kit on my gl1500se , and knew nothing about trikes and had only had my wing for 4 years. I was looking for some info on tires and other thing and found trike talk. when I ask a ? I got all kinds of good info on fixes or where to go to get the info. then Nov, 1 2013 or 14 Darlene and I made a gathering @ Kerrville. we had so much fun and meet so many nice people, so we are just hooked and will stay.

 

[Big Juice]

Back in February of 2014, I had my 2wheeler converted by Mitchell Motorsports. Bad knees and hips put me on 3. A guy at Mitchell said there was a trike forum that might help with "my" personal conversation to a trike. Found TT and the information was great with things I needed to know. The rest is history and I have loved the help and, most of all, the new friends found on TT! Thank you, Randy, Marge and all my new trike friends! I plan to be a part of TT for a long, long time. I'm looking forward to the Texas Gathering and making even more friends, see ya in Kerrville!!

Had just purchased a brand new 2010 Yellow 1800 Gold Wing Motor Trike IRS in April of 2010, and was looking for a really good Trike Forum. I already belonged to several Motorcycle and Scooter Forums, and a Moderator/Administrator on two of Them. I found TRIKE TALK.com and was immediately hooked on all of the Great Info, and Members.

The Maggie Valley Rally was coming up in a few weeks and the Host Motel was booked. We found another, got a room, and went to the Rally. Randy/Bazooka and I talked there, and I came on as a Moderator. I Led Rides, Posted, Photographed, and Rode this Forum to death for many years until last year...Mitzie's knee replacement, Her Job change, both of Our Mom's deaths, and having to help look after Our remaining Fathers (and my Father's Business) have made drastic changes in Our Lifestyle and amount of time off.

After 46+ years of Trike, Motorcycle, and Scooter riding, we have had to turn to Bicycles and Recumbent Trikes for Our Sport/Hobby...I'm still here, and We Both miss being as active as we once were....may happen again someday...we will see...Super Big Thanks to ALL of the Great Friends I've made here...Best Trike Forum on the Internet...PERIOD...!!!!!!!!!!
