1st time trike owner in NH

[michaelcorrea65]

Started riding a 2 wheeler 3 years ago,just bought a trike last week.
I heard it might be a good idea to take a class on riding a trike,
can anyone suggest a NH class?

Hi Michael, and a big TrikeTalk welcome!
Hopefully someone near you can point you to a trike training class, but meanwhile take your trike to an empty parking lot and spend some time doing figure eights, practicing turns and circles, etc. A few days riding on quiet roads will help you get a great start on it. You'll soon feel right at home -- it is mainly a matter of changing from countersteering to direct steering with a trike.

And take a look at all the great info on this link: http://www.triketalk.com/forum/general-discussion-5/experienced-trike-riders-please-post-here-242/

never heard of a trike class. I just rode back road for a while till I felt comfortable with it. Only took a couple of hours.

Welcome to Trike Talk from SE Missouri:wave4: Like it has been said before, put some time in a parking lot and on some of the back road around where you live, it won't take long before you are comfortable with the trike. Good luck with the trike and ride safe.ThumbUp

Welcome :wave4:

I'm sure it will be easier to ride the trike than you think. I had a pretty big bit of apprehension about riding before my trike was finished, but once I rode for a couple of miles, I found adapted quite naturally. Now, its second nature! Good luck!

Welcome to TT, from Long Island. I pass by there often enough to know where to get the cheap BJ's gas in town.

Hi Michael, and welcome! So glad to have another New Englander in the group!! Be sure to check with Rosy in NH when you have a chance - he's in your area, and I'm sure he'd be happy to help a little more "one on one" than most of us can.

I think you'll find riding the trike is much easier than you think it will be - other than the MSF course, I hadn't been on a motorcycle in at least 20 years (and then, only as a passenger), but after getting my trike and practicing in the driveway and local roads, I was on the highway within a couple weeks.

Looking forward to getting to know you better, and hope we can get together when I ride up that way this summer. And definitely consider joining us for the New England rally in August - great bunch of people to get together with!! ThumbUp
