    Thanks it sounded strange until I tried it. I personally just stand on the left peg with left foot and swing my right leg over the tank/ wife does the same way, before I get on and then just hops back on her seat using the rider boards . but I put the video together so they could see just what u was takin about.

    John, GREAT Video! I loved it! I just went out and tried it, and while ackward the first time, it does work, and rather well too! I'm 6-4, and the seat is 26" tall, so I normally just stand on the ground and step over, and sit down with both feet on the ground, but the video way works great when these old bones are stiff and tired, which is most of the time now anyway...

    Again, great video John!!

    John.. should have made it Pay-per-View. LOL

    Wait until you mount the trike this way and hit a light bulb with your head or the garage door opener..

    I have to agree that this is the best most absolutely wonderful way to mount your trike. With a bad back, blown knees and the most damaging crippling condition of all time "a sarcastic wit" this way works great for me.

    We are getting new members all the time, and as a lot of them are new to trikes, I thought this thread should be bumped. Hope it helps someone.

    I'm picking up my Trike in Texas next week but have enjoyed reading this board. Has helped me understand a lot of things and a lot of the things about trikes also apply to cycles with hacks. That's especially true about adding time to your rides since everybody and their buddy want to "gee", "gawk", and ask questions whether it be a "pit stop" or a gas stop.

    Hey Calman- good deal about picking up your trike. Bet you're looking forward to it!

    Having been a hack pilot, it can say the biggest difference is that you have something sticking out on both sides of the bike now. With the chair, the mindset has to be to keep to the left of things so as not to engage in any unpleasentness like running over curbs, hitting poles, dropping the wheel off the side of the road,etc. With the trike it is like there is a sidecar on the right and left side.

Just remember, that all those vibrations, and tracking issues can be adjusted endlessly with the setups being built today.Pretty much the same system as a Nascar suspension. The absolute most popular comment you'll hear from Trikers is "I wish I'd have done this trike thing sooner!". Good luck, jimsjinx
    wierd.i'm reading all the dos and don'ts of triking and thinking "i've done all this from day one",then realize why i do it.i drive a semi tractor trailer and constantly check where i'm turning.slow for turns,power out and such.now about the quote,,,my trike has more rake on it i guess.my front wheel leans just as much as my bike did.even wears the same and all.anyway,very good advice for newbies.

    I just place the order for my trike 2 days ago, and it will be ready in 2-3 weeks. (Paint is on backorder ) I will be reading this thread more than once to commit the ideas to memory before I get on the seat and ride. Thanks to the experienced ones from a noob. :yes:

    I know all you trikers are paying close attention to the dealer (when he delivers your trike) to the do's and don'ts, but pay close attention to the service of the suspension bolts every 2,000 to 3,000 miles. I have found that these bolts, even with the nylon nuts on them, will work themselves loose and cause vibrations and strange noises. This is most important if you ride two up most of the time. Thanks Ozark, This has been a great thread to read. :yes::yes:

    Funny that you say this about a Motor Trike. My left fender shakes so fast it rattles between 2400 and 2800 RPM. Doesn't matter how fast I am going. Pull in the clutch and it stops.

    I have looked at it myself but no joy, so I took it back to the MT dealer. They thought the body needed larger fender washers to the frame so they replaced them and tightened them up, no joy so now they are blaming it on my cams?? They are mild cams too, Andrews 26H.

    Yeah, what a joke. A Harley vibrates so get over it but soon I feel the body will crack and they will not repair or replace it. Am thinking about calling MT to see what they have to say about it. Oh well... I'll keep looking. Sooner or later I will find the reason.

    Tip # 10 when you park your TRIKE/ Motorcycle in a crowded parking lot, don't pull all the way in . Stop so the rear is visible from behind. i had a guy start to pull in behind me.

    Tip #11 Avoid road rage!
    Motorcyclist made obscene hand gestures, and pulled in front of motor home, then slowed down. Fatality.
