Man I wish I knew all the lingo you folks use here. I mean I could be more descriptive of what I'm experiencing but since I'm a novice triker I'm not really sure how to "splain" it.....well anyway, in short, rode the VTX the 120 miles to my installer and my upper back/shoulders were in knots from horsing it through turns. I don't really slow down much in turns so maybe I was being too tough on myself and the trike?

Return trip over the same terrain and I'm so relaxed its not funny. My whole riding experience has changed for the better. All the angles I was taking into and out of turns are changed and my trike is handling at least 50% better....

Rake it Big Steve!!!!!:yes:
 
Now, I understood that perfectly! Obviously your lingo is just right :D :D :D
Congrats on the rake kit! Without doubt you will love the difference and the comfort for your arms and shoulders.

When in dought just say it like it is. Good job.
 
"Mission Accomplished"......Yep, I don't see how Anyone can ride "REAL TWISTIES" without a Rake Kit on most Trikes. The Rake Kit definetly adds "FLICKABILITY"......:wtg:
