I am so happy to have found this site! I am new to biking, having only ridden on the back of my husbands Harley for the past year or so, and have a new (to me) 1979 VW trike! I, absolutely love it and I am so anxious to learn to ride it and be confident on it. I'm doing fine with shifting (accept for a couple of wheelies) but I am having trouble with the hand throttle. I want to convert it to a foot throttle so it will feel more familiar to me and I think I would be rolling down the highway with confidence then.
