re: Experienced Trike Riders - Please post here.
Bro..on a Wing, NEVER EVER use reverse to park!!! Too many have broken the small gear on the starter/reverse gear. ALWAYS put it in 1st gear to park. Will hold MUCH better.
I've had my trike since July 2005. Prior to the "real deal" I had a Tow-Pac on a Silverwing and prior to that I had ridden 2-wheels.
I didn't have time to be uncomfortable on the new-to-me trike because we flew to Florida and I immediately got on it to ride it home to California.
First addition - the one inch convex mirrors so I can see the fenders.
What people say about planning on extra time at stops for questions is absolutely true. This last weekend I had someone admit to FOLLOWING me into a gas station to ask questions. That was a first.
We live in an area with lots of curves in the roads. Best advice I ever received was to SLOW DOWN BEFORE the curve and POWER IN the curve. Since there is no lean to the trike it makes life so much easier to be SET for the curve before I get into it. (I probably do this less now, but I still remember how important it was.)
My trike doesn't have an emergency brake so I put the trike in reverse.
It is a good thing I have a large windshield or my teeth would be full of bugs from smiling!
