After 51 years, switched to a Trike

After riding for 51 years I switched to a Trike on July 8th. At 71 I'm not as strong as I was even a few years. We've got 654 miles on it and enjoying every mile. It's been interesting, the 2nd day the speedometer started going weird. It showed me doing 75 mph sitting still. When I cranked it up to 10 mph, the speedometer pegged out over 120 mph. Finally got it fixed today. Looking forward to riding with the wife for another 20 or so years:)

Howdy Ed!:wave4:Glad you were able to get the speedo fixed. I like to twist the throttle, but 120 is a bit much. :D

Come join us in Kerrville is Sept. We would like to meet another Texan. A good time for all, some good riding and times.

Ed welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride
 
Congratulations on keeping your knees in the breeze and welcome to the forum from Western Pennsylvania. :good: travel safe Fred
 
Ed welcome to Trike Talk. After 47 years on 2 wheels, I had to go to 3 also. After 8 years on three it has been a ball, and at 73 I am still "knees in the breeze". So also a big welcome also to the three wheel world.
