Going to try a trike and new today to your group

[hotpnkghia]

Hi! My name is Ann! I am a hospice nurse in Seattle and suddenly decided I was going back to motorcycling and this time will experience a trike! I do not have one, am curious about your thoughts and what you like and why. I just had a dear friend die and it was a great reminder to not pass up any opportunity! I had ridden for years and sold my last bike 12 years ago and it was always my favorite way to travel. It sure beats the heck out of riding a camel! I am looking forward to this new adventure and welcome any input!

Ann, Welcome To trike-Talk......:wave4:

Welcome Ann

I guess the best part for me of a Trike is not having to hold it up any more

After 2 major back injuries I cannot hold 2 wheels up, but I am not done riding

My advice is go to a dealer and test ride as many bikes, trikes as you can

:welcome: Ann , test ride the more the answer will appear. Be safe.

Hi Ann welcome back to the world of motorcycle triking. I switched to 3 wheels from 2 about 7 years ago after 2 major accidents within 90 days after 50+ years and 250,000 miles of accident free riding. I realized that something had changed but while 2 wheels was no longer an option,I wasn't ready to quit. I went to a Goldwing trike. It kept me riding,in fact I put nearly 40,000 miles on it in 4 years,but I never really liked it or triking. I rode Harley Tri Glides on demo days,other peoples conversion bikes as I could, and Spyders. Finally after 4 years I went to the Spyder and have loved it now for nearly 3 years and 28000 miles. It put the fun back into riding for me. I hope you get to test out a lot of trikes and see which one puts the fun in it for you too.

So :clapping:welcome to the group.

Hi Ann... Welcome to TrikeTalk from west Texas! Always good to see another lady driver on the forum! I really like my Gold Wing trike. I have driven the Spyder and liked it very much also. As they say - go to the dealers and do some test drives. Chime in here with any questions you might want to ask - these guys are a wealth of information and expertise.

Welcome to Trike Talk Ann! As has been said, test ride as many as you can and ask whatever question you have here. Both will help in your decision.

Hi Ann, welcome to Trike Talk from Florida. Like others have already said, test ride as many different ones that you can, we're a very casual bunch here so ask away.
