Congratulations!!!! Welcome to the world of three wheelin'. There will be no getting rid of that "Triker grin" now. Hope you both have lots of safe and wonderful adventures,meeting lots of fellow trikers along the way.
Yep...! Bought a 2008 Gold Wing trike with a Lehman Monarch II kit. It only has 2,500 miles on it and the bike is loaded with ALL the premium goodies. Yours truly, Mrs. Paws, drove that puppy home - a distance of 135 miles - having never driven a trike but having had a lifetime of 2-wheel experience. But then, I've never turned down a ride on anything that had a clutch and throttle - that is, as long as I could touch the ground - or - in this case - didn't have to touch the ground.
I want to, BIG TIME, thank all of those who posted tips and advice on "how to drive a trike" on this website. That was all the information I had - except the seller offered that I should not try to take a curve at faster than the speed posted for the curve. I had a great ride and am more than pleased with the whole thing.
Hubby followed along in the 4-wheeler... he hadn't read all the info out here as I had. After having viewed the video from the Lehman site and listening to me go on and on, he took the trike out the next day and was thrilled with it.
He also would like to thank Bazooka for so patiently answering all his questions and offering so much info on the phone last week.
So - we're OFFICIAL. This website had a LOT to do with making that decision!
THANKS ALL !!!!

Woo Hoo..... You are on your way! Watch out, hubby will be wanting one for his own also!

Stallion #406 // 2013 Tri-Glide
Thank you everyone. As soon as we figure out how, we'll post pics.
We bought this trike for hubby. I'll stay on 2-wheels as long as I can.
He has gone through esophogeal cancer treatment (chemo & radiation - SUCCESSFULLY), then a heart attack (quad bypass + 1 valve replacement - he had a surgeon who was EXCELLENT and who also rides a Spyder and a Gold Wing) all since 2008. So it's all taken a toll on his overall physical strength & stamina. Although he has been able to to still enjoy his 2-wheeler I worried about him pushing himself trying to keep up with me on distance trips.
However, having said that, I must admit - I really LIKE this thing! I feel sure there are some 2-up trips on it coming soon. I just have to keep telling myself... gee & haw - rather than lean!
Congratulations Paws and spouse will warn you now though the trike will come out more than the two wheels lol i know mine does i open the garage saying going out on the bike today and guess what first set of traffic lights no feet down safe ridinbg and cant wait to see pics
Congratulations!! You go girl. You will love it more the more you ride it.
