Hey All;
Will I have been LURKING around the site for a while so might as well introduce myself. Was Labor Day weekend 2007, a good day to be riding the Harley Wide Glide, enjoying the back roads of middle Tennessee, next thing I know, (4 days later) woke up in Vanderbilt Hospital missing my left leg above the knee.
Lady crossed double yellow line and over I went. So 18 months, 26 days 5 hours, 37 min (OK not sure on the seconds) of trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, I went an ordered, then waited and waited and waited and then finally pick up a 2009 Fat Boy with a Motor Trike kit installed.
(Been watching others on the site here wait and wait and wait for theirs rides and felt their PAIN as they waited and waited for it.) Well the first 40 miles of riding (Down Natchez Trace Parkway an easy road to re-learn to ride on and not much traffic) I was fighting the trike big time and worrying about all kinds of things, got to a point I just wanted to get off and give the thing away.
Then I had a long conversation with myself (I do that quite often) and got back on, relaxed, and the ride home was so difference. Only have 500 miles on it now, but being back in the wind is absolutely priceless. Went through some twisty the other day and the trike just STUCK to the road, the more it stuck the more we became one, oh what a feeling. One of the problems now is how to stop smiling to keep from getting bugs in my teeth while riding.
Just wanted to say THANKS to everyone for posting on the site here, got a ton of information on what to expect how to ride, THANKS
