Just remember how wide you are now, especially pulling up to a gas pump!
yep if it wasn't for trike talk .com I wouldn't have had my Goldwing triked out...
I decided on a Roadsmith conversion, with most of the bell/whistles.
I pretty much ordered everything but the extra gas tank .. I really didn't feel that I'd ride it anywhere that a gas station wasn't available w/in a short amount of miles away..
Builder called and said it's ready and will be delivered this week sometime...It's been cold/snowy/salty here in Massachusetts so I would not be riding it anyways, so i figured "out of sight" means "out of mind" BUT of course we all know that's not quite the way it works, "it's been on my mind the whole time" but I'm going down to the insurance company today, then to the registry to get it licensed and ready for a nice day to learn how to ride a trike..
yep I read and will listen, to go to my local large parking lot and practice steering, steering, steering, corner, corner,corner and get used to the new ride... (I've been riding two wheels for fifty years) so I have to get used to the new steering curve that I'm about to encounter.. Soooooooooooo Walmart here I come...yipee

ps: so if you just happen to ride past a springfield Mass. Walmart parting lot and see a 'goobie" riding around 'n" around a circle on a trike, with hopefully a giant smile on his face, it probably will "B" me.. please stop and say hello....

I always suggest to new trikers they read the thread by experienced trikers on the General discussion forum. There is a lot of great info there. Here's the link: http://www.triketalk.com/forum/threa...ike-Great-Info!
That thread was started in 2008, (can't believe Trike Talk has been around that long already!) but the information is timeless.
