My wife and I just got home from our first real trip on our GL1500 California Sidecar Trike. We ran into everything from hard rain to wind to cold and all I can say is WOW! One of the best trips we ever took. We were both really relaxed through everything we ran into; even road construction in the rain. Pulled our trailer and had to look in the mirror to see if it was there. We are trikers for life!!
