Purchased new trike on the 3rd of Sept. Never ridden one before. Been riding Harley two wheelers for fifteen years. 69 years old, great shape and still working. Ride just fine except at highway speeds of 50 mph plus. If I go into a corner(especially right turns) at speed in a long curve trike seems to want to bind up in the front and act like it is going to flip. Scares the hell out of me. I have had this happen about four times now. Always steer to the left and hit brakes, and thank god no one is in the next lane. Have only ridden it about 450 miles.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated.
I love the triglide, just can't keep up with my friends any more on their two wheels.
One of my friends I ride with has his second triglide and keeps up fine. He says I just need to practice. Could there possibly be something wrong with my trike. I do fine if I slow down to say 45mph in a curve my friends are taking at 55 and 65 mph. Would a lift kit help, and does tire pressure make that much difference. Running 40 psi in shocks and 23 psi in rear tires, 36 in front. Sure could use some good advise.
