Glad to become a member here. My name is Fred and I have been riding a trike about a year. I ride a Honda GL1800 with a Lehman Monarch II conversion. Pretty much stock at the time. Love it and my wife was ecstatic when I bought it. She hated the two wheeler we had and loves the new bike (actually a 2005 GL1800 with a 2010 kit). We absolutely LOVE the Texas Hill Country some of the best riding in the country, especially the Three Twisted Sisters near Leakey Texas. Come visit this part of Texas. I am retired US Navy Mastercheif (hence user name). We will both retire this year and next year plan on traveling to Rolling Thunder, maybe Ameriade and Laconia. We are buying a smalltoy hauler to take the trike along with ur two dogs on trips - family has to be there. Take care and ride safe.
