Hi, NewTriker! I was just out yesterday, for a nice ride in west/cetral Ga. We were 2 up, going about 70mph,and was running dead on into an ominous looking storm, which could not be avoided.After a quick stop to let the wife put on her raingear,we headed out.Before we even got up to speed, the heavens opened up,with giant lightning strikes all around us.Needless to say we were getting pretty scared.As we were making our way to an exit, a large area of brand new highway was under about 2 1/2 inches of rain water, and we hit it at 50/55mph. The MotorTrike gave a tiny hint of loss of traction,almost inperceivable to me, but I felt "something". Then in about 1/100th of a nanosecond, I realized we were hydroplaning all three wheels!!!!:eek: The trike stayed straight and true, and hooked up on the other side of the puddle, as I ever so slightly backed off the throttle, never touching my brakes. WHEW! I thank my lucky stars we were on a three wheeler! I know my limitations, and we would have went down for sure on two wheels. A person going around a corner, has to be flying to just up and tip over. I ride weekly in the GA.
twisties, and as long as I follow the speed limits, it is a joy to ride. You don't have to decide lean angles, weight shifting, any of the two wheel stuff. It's tru that all that stuff is fun, but if physical limitations prevent one from keeping those skills perfect, then a trike will keep bugs in your teeth, and you out of the hospital! Enjoy the trike, and keep us posted! Jimsjinx
