Hi All that welcomed me, and to all which are out there. Just wanted to update my status on my trike, as I stated in my welcome I was waiting for the check to clear, it has; driving up to NH in the morning to pick the trike up, I will be trailering it back. Again it's a 2008 electraglide ultra classic with Champion body and their reverse. I will be on the sidelines, learning,

I enjoyed a few threads already such as remember had wide your rear end is when pulling into places, and you don't have to put your feet down the later will be tough after riding so long.

The first street Trike that i ever had [After riding two wheelers since the 60's] was one of the first Spyder's in NJ 2008....And i drove right out of the dealership with my Son following me in his truck... When i got to the first red light i put my feet down..

And all i could hear from behind me was.....Hey! ' Old Man you don't have to put your feet down anymore......:blush:.....
 
Picked mine up in April. No urge to put my feet down yet, but after 50+ years of riding 2 wheels, I did run off the road twice in the beginning.

Muscle memory wanted to reverse steer instead of actual steering! Seemed the more I pushed on the bars the more it wanted to go in that direction.

It takes a little practice. Good luck. :)
 
It's home I got the vin check and registration this Wendsday. I have not taking any photos as of yet, I did find what I beleive to be the serial # Big white sticker on the swing arm. Does this look right; build # 726426 Jan 10 and below that California ARB D-610-1 or L. or is this it?GH-FOO-002

I did put my feet down comming off the trailer and I need to practice that reverse gear. I did some 360's out in the street left and right trike did not lift up at all, it reminds of a john deer trail buck (4 wheeler) as far steering.



Just want to figure out what I have. Once I get the plates on I'll take a better look underneath. I do know I have shocks on both wheels.
