New Trike Owner from Alabama

[vickie]

Just purchased my first trike and LOVE it! It's a Honda VTX1300/Champion trike, and I took my first ride on Oct. 3. I had previously been riding a Honda Reflex scooter, so this is my first experience with shifting and three wheels. Rode for an hour in an industrial park which is almost deserted, then felt confident enough to take it out in traffic. My husband, Duane, was kind enough to drive it home for me from Pioneer Motorcycles in Tennessee, and now he's happy to return to two wheels! It was great to meet and visit with Skuuter, Mitzi, Jim, Jeff and Jim during our two days of shopping at Pioneer, and I thank all of them for their help and advise on trikes. Duane and I are members of the Patriot Guard, and also ride with a group from our Church called "Riders at the Rock." We have met so many great people since we started riding and look forward to meeting many more!

Welcome to the big trike owners world! Sounds like your transition to a bigger trike is going well. Enjoy the forum-there is a bunch of VTX peeps here.

Great job on working slowly into traffic as you went from two to three wheels.
NH welcomes you and if you are in the area, give a shout and we will show you our scenic state. Not as warm as yours but very nice riding.
Welcome!

Regards,

A warm welcome from me too! My husband does not like to ride my trike either! He is a full-blooded two-wheeler!
(Fine by me!)

So many people have asked "who's trike is it going to be?" Assuming my husband was going to ride it, because it is bigger I guess. He has had enough time on the trike, and is happy to be on two wheels. He has no qualms about riding on it with me, although I am not confident enought yet to take him for a ride.
