    Default Just thinking out loud now, no plans .....

    Well, some of my chapter's participants ("friends" they are) are still getting together for rides I see, but they generally all live in a cluster about an hour or two north of me. Truth is not as many ride as used to, but still a half dozen or so. I'll admit, been thinking that if Spring pops nice, health holds, we might be looking for another trike.

    I liked the size of our '97 Lehman GTL, I liked the simplicity & handling of the SA swing arm set up, but could deal with IRS easy enough I rekon. May yet be a GL1800 ... or ... dare I say it … a HD in our future, I guess we'll see. No trailers either, just a hitch rack at most.

    No, we are not regretting the selling of the '97, but thinking of "the freshness" change usually brings maybe? Anyway, it'd be a new experience. I know that our last few years had dulled the fun as we just weren't able to ride much, and I'm sure the C-19 didn't help. I had gotten to know the 1500 pretty well, I still think it was and is still a gorgeous trike, but then as I always said "change is as good as a rest".

    It'll depend on my condition (feeling great now) and the events between now & then, etc.

    Well, it's been a while gone now. Every so often I get the hankering to get back on three wheels. I don't visit here as often because it feeds the hankering, I did / do love riding. I'm doing better, virtually back to normal but there are times if I quickly turn to my left, things start swirling in my vision. think of vertigo.

    It's short lived, and I never notice it driving ... but then my whole body is not turning either. It happens just when I whirl my whole body like turning to look back as I walk out of a room maybe and even then, not always. I do have to pause before going down steps now where I used to just go, and I'm not as sure footed on a step ladder or step stool, I like to at least have a hand in contact with a third point with my feet being the first two. I can go out in the yard, look up at treetops above, and suddenly feel like I'm gonna fall over too .... but then I am just standing on two feet. ... I can just add a third point of contact like hold a rake or stick, just place the back of my hand against something even ... then look up and then am totally A-OK then. I can look up while driving with absolutely no ill affects. My left eye still has a pursuit issue and at left full deviation, the view from the left eye is some below the one of the right eye, hence double vision. It is way better than it was last year ... was a time I had to turn my head to the left & look to the right just to look straight ahead, but not now. Sitting down or leaning against something, all is normal though.

    Something else about driving is ... I now have to limit my looks to the left in duration more so than I used to. It was nothing to look left to gather details like house numbers or tag numbers or driver descriptions as I drove and not loose spatial awareness, even at speed. I was a Trooper for over 30 years, but this was easy. Now however, I have to limit my sideways looks to my left to just quick glances. If I take longer looks, I find that I then tend to just slightly steer right for some reason, as if compensating somehow? I limit my left looks to just quick stolen glances now.

    With the EZ-Steer 6 degrees on the 1500, the quickness of steering could be some dangerous ... so I'd have to address that drifting and response issue.

    I did sell the trike back to the son of the former owners, he loves it, he's made some changes though. It was a '97, a gorgeous trike if I say so, a wonderful ride, but it is 25 years old and well, some parts are really getting tough to find. My Wife is 100% OK with me driving she says, but not bike riding. I know bikes are out, I know that part of life is past for me, I knew it with finality the day I rode the 1200 around the house to park on the carport ... where it stayed until sold ... but I think trikes would be just fine as then no balancing issues. I don't miss the bikes, they had to go, it would have been dangerous, beyond fun even, to have kept them, the temptation around.

    But the trike is a lot like riding my Wheel Horse, only faster.

    Anyway, if ever my picture changes, I did something about this dilemma. I do still visit as I enjoy the sight.

    I just thought I'd update.

    I was very sad seeing some have passed on too.
