Well, the time has come, (I am now one of you) i just got a call that my new 2010 Goldwing has been converted to a three wheeled Roadsmith, and delivery time is tomorrow 12/27/16.............
Wish me luck, I never rode a triked before, but I've been riding two wheelers now for over fifty years years...
After reading and lerking here on TT.com for a while I understand that I'm in for a new learning experience....Gulp: wish me luck!
Ronnie
On the 28th you'll be one of us "WISH I HAD DONE THIS SOONER" . Good luck! May take a couple of hundred miles to get comfortable,but t will happen. Do some LARGE to small figure 8's. They will help. RIDE SAFE

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.
hay Burner boy, you are about to embark on the best of the motorcycle world, no more putting you foot down at stops, no more straining to hold it up. you will not make as good of time as 2 wheels ( at every stop people will want to talk and ask questions about the trike.)
after you get use to the trike and how it handles, you will be supersized how well it takes the curves ( in fact you will be pushing the 1 wheeler s in the turns. ) so be safe and give it some time to get use to, then have fun, fun,
Can't wait to see the pics Ronnie, hope the weather holds out for you.

Congrats BurnerBoy. Practice in a parking lot doing figure 8's, give yourself 500 miles to really be confortable riding the trike and above all.....put "counter steering" out of your mind and repertoire.
Congratulations on your new ride! And like the gang said pictures when you get time
Inquiring minds want to know - Whazit look like???!!!
