Greetings. I'm new to the trike scene, so still learning. I'm a re-entry motorcycle rider and have been riding for about 12 years now, mostly in the NorCal area in the Sierra Nevada. I currently ride a Honda Silverwing and I'm very pleased with it...this is my second one. I ride strictly one-up. I'm 65 and am anticipating switching over to trikes concurrent with our upcoming move to east Texas to be near our kids and grandkids. I understand that riding trikes is very different from riding motorcycles. I have driven a sidecar rig on one occasion, so I have a sense of how different it really is.
So, some questions:
1) Does Texas require a separate license endorsement for trikes?
2) What is a good resource for trike training?
3) Thinking about primarily two types of trikes
A) Harley Freewheeler: Service available at most trike dealers, prices pretty reasonable
B) Goldwing conversion: Larger, greater comfort, may be harder to get services.
I'd value some thoughts on these questions and also input on things maybe I didn't think to ask.
Thank you in advance for your consideration!
