I'm so sorry for taking up space on your wonderful trike forum. Everyone has been so great answering my questions. Today, I went to the dealer to talk to them about the TG. I've worked really hard on making out a really nice excel spread sheet for the pricing on the TG. I had the TG listed for them to put a price with all the freight,doc fees and the security package. Then I listed all the accessories the dealer would have to install, a space for the cost of the labor and the accessories I would purchase and install myself. Of course there was a spot for the trade in, subtotal without the taxes and then the final OTD price. The GM loved my excel sheet, even though I stole it from a friend. On the floor were two, a black and a red ready to be test rode. The Big Red one had gas in it, so out the door we went. They pulled it outside, said said go anywhere you want too, take your time with it. Ok, I have never attemped to "drive one". And I proved today that "I CAN"T"!! So, I'm at home nursing a pulled calf muscle, pain in my back and my feelings hurt. Yes, I couldn't turn the darn thing and almost drove it off the curb into a busy 4 lane highway. Yes, I put my feet down trying to stop the darn thing. Ok, ya'll can stop laughing now.
I thought I was turning it ,my brain said I was turning it, but I wasn't turning it. I know that ya'll understand what I'm saying. So, what the heck is wrong with me. My riding instincts of over 20 years told me I was going to fall over. My old brain couldn't comprehend that there is a brake pedal, a hand brake and a clutch just like my 2 wheeler. Plus I was looking down trying to figure out why this beautiful machine was first not turning and then NOT stopping.
WE decided to come back on a Sunday when the industrial center across the street is empty so I'll have a long straight road and big parking lots to learn how to turn the front end. PHEW, I need a beer now, take some Aleve and prop my feet up, that was frustrating. But I will win!! By the way, just that little bit told me that I'm going to love that 103".
