    Default Time To Get Serious About A Trike

    My knee replacement surgery (fifth surgery on this knee) just is not going well. Surgery was eleven weeks ago and I seem to have reached maximum range of motion and it is not where I wanted to be at this stage and the therapists and doc agree. In addition, the knee is very weak and I'm not sure I trust it, or ever will. Almost dropped the Valk last night in a parking garage and would have dropped it had not a GW rider been passing by and grabbed it until I could get it back upright.

    So, I am seriously looking for a reliable dealer who can trike my Valk, and do a great job on it. I'd like to stay close to home - Tennessee, north Georgia, north Alabama, etc. I'd appreciate any feedback from anyone who has been through the process.

    I'm also looking for recommendations on whose conversion seems to work best for our Valks (mine is a Tourer). Since I don't have an Interstate, I'm assuming that I will need to provide a fairing (most kits do not come with a fairing, do they?).

    As you can see, I have a lot more questions than answers and very little experience in the wide, wide world of trikes. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    TALK TO BAZOOKA!! You can trust him implicitly, and he's a heck of a builder/installer!

    Hi Ya Bama Red,
    Sorry to hear about the knee trouble. I am having weak knees and after having a heart attack three years ago, I had to have a Trike. I already had a 99 I/S and chose to have the fine folks in Maysville, Ky. do her right. The bike came out as beautiful as as anyone would want. I am sure that the tourer would make a wonderful trike as I have seen several going thru eastern Ky. going to the south for N.C.- Va.-Tenn. Look for what you want-comfort-ride-foot controls-handlebars-storage-trailer space-colors-co-rider comfort etc. There is some beautiful bikes that can be had for a reasonable price. Shop smart-look and ride other bikes-think hard where you want to go on it. Trikes are extremely easy to ride. You just have to be mindful of the steering makes the turn---not the lean. Good luck and wishing the best your way.

    Gabby

    Welcome aboard. The owner and founder of this site is Bazooka (Randy). He owns Adventure Motorsports located in Dothan Al. He is very honest and will not steer you wrong. If nothing else call him and talk to him, but buying from him is a very good idea.

    I sent Randy a PM earlier today with some questions and told him what I was looking for. Told him to shoot me some answers when he had a chance. Hopefully there is something out there that'll work for me and not completely drain the old bank account!
