O.K. first test ride twenty miles, horrible, low speed on bumpy roads just about ripped the handlebars out of my hands, hiway speed on road with lots of bumps and dips wanted to follow them. smooth flat road 70mph no problem. Went home and tightened the steering bearings as someone suggested. Second test ride, thirty five miles, much better, still fairly hard to steer. Dont think I can tighten the bearings much more, but that might solve the problem. Dont want to spend 2,000.00 bucks on a rake kit , but will if I have to. Think once I get used to it I am really going to like it. Have been looking at stabilizers, but would like to see what one looks like mounted on the bike. It is currently snowing again so will have to wait a while before the next test ride.
Reason for going to a trike, broke my hip in a construction accident seventeen years ago. Road a two wheeler for as long as I could. Hip is getting weaker, and I am not getting any younger, (61) years old this summer. Wife said if I would go to a trike she would start riding with me again. Scared the crap out of her last summer when I layed it down at a stop sign. Only my pride was hurt, first time i have done that for many years. Will let you know after more test rides. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. :xzqxz:
