I am very happy with my 2005 GL1800 Lehman Trike. The one minor problem I have had was to leave the parking brake on twice while starting out to ride. I was told by the mechanic at "East Coast Cycle Center" in Bensalem, Pa. not to use the handbrake and just leave it in first gear when you park. I now do that, but if I decided to use the brake as a backup, I will just have to remember to lower it down before I drive away. LOL. Does anyone else have any comments on using the handbrake ?

I was talking to my Honda dealer last week and he informed me that the Lehman Trike uses drum brakes for the parking brake and discs for the regular rear brakes. So I guess when I accidentally ran for a while with the parking brake on I was riding the drums not the discs. I never smelled anything burning so I presume everything is okay with the brakes and they don't grab really hard.
