Took my first real ride this morning, about 40 miles. Its been 35+ years since I was on two wheels and due to balance issues from chemo I would not feel confident on two now at all. I always wanted a Harley and started seeing TriGlides around and thought that might be the ticket.
I think I made the right choice. The first ride gave me a number of things to pay attention to right off the bat. I was surprised at how much of an impact riding posture has on the comfort/confidence in handling. The bike tracks very true on it's own. I should have checked the shocks before I left. The ride seemed rough and since there was no air in the shocks that would be about right. I put 25 psi in and will adjust from there. I also need to find a balance between push/pull on the handlebars when steering as well as throttle control through curves. Overall I am thinking that it won't take long to become comfortable. None of the roads around here are straight so there is ample opportunity for cornering practice.
