New Years Ride

[Firewrench22]

Rode to historic Port Townsend yesterday. Brilliant sunshine, mid 40's. She in her new toy, me on the Tri-Glide. About a 40 minute ride from home. All rural.

Trolled the quaint downtown, wife doesn't know about trolling. she went too fast...I explained it to her later, "you just weren't going slow enough..."

I figured out I like riding behind her, so I can see folks' reactions. I saw a guy step off a curb staring. Wherever we stopped, everybody wanted to talk to her. I was nothing. Funny.

Happy New Year to y'all! I think this is going to be a fun year!

I can see why they would leave you alone. That is one eye catching machine. Nice looking couple and nice looking rides.

Dude, the TG is nice and all but her toy has the WOW factor. Oh, and she's better looking than you .

Have a Great New Year!

I am curious about the laws in Washington regarding the red trike. Does it require a trike endorsement and is a helmet required while riding it. My understanding is that with a steering wheel and seat belts no endorsement is required. I couldn't find any info on the DOL website about a helmet. Too cold for me to ride right now, not to mention wet. I'll start getting the trike ready in about April.

Now thats cool, time to set up a CB or some type of radio communications for those troling drive-byes

It's licensed as a motorcycle here in WA, so you have to wear a helmet. But no endorsement is needed, since it has automotive-style controls.

Had to make a few phone calls to find insurance on it, ended up with a specialty ins broker, but it's about the same cost as the H-D.
