New Trike

[1 - UP]

My '04 is now triked. I got it back on the 3rd and it has been raining ever since. Today will be the first day that I'll have it on the road.

As soon as I get some pictures of it I'll post them. The "Venture" continues now on three wheels.

Thom, I'm still in Indiana. I'll be coming home next week end.

Randy I don't know if I'll make it or not. This has been a 2 month vacation and I want to spend some time at home. It's called "Homesick".

Squidley I had a Hannigan installed and I rode it today and it was nice. Takes a little getting use to, not being able to "lean" when turning, but I think things will be OK.

You dont have any excuses for no pics of the New Venture Trike, I happen to know, just by chance, that where you are, Jerry has a very large garage, a barn and plenty of space to take some indoor pics.......you just want to keep us all guessing about what it looks like..............Like to have seen a comparsion pic of yours next to Jerry's.......I think it would be no contest as to who has the prettier trike.................Even a 2nd gen trike looks better that a GW.............:stirthepot: Have fun with the new ride........cant wait to see the pics........:whistling:

Congrads on your new ride Ken. Welcome to the 3rd wheel world from one brother to another. Yes it'll feel different front two wheels for a while but it also won't take long to become aquainted with the handling either. As with any bike there will be pros & cons. From a safety point of view you will have more pros than cons now. Hope to meet you someday as well.

Thanks Larry,

I've only had the chance to ride it twice, both times were around 150 miles. I checked the gas milege and I was getting 38+ which I thought was pretty good. I was getting 45 to 48 on two wheels. I would like to know what others are getting on "three" wheels. I was running at highway speeds some of the time 65 - 75, but most of the time I was around 50 - 60 on two lanes.

I have the "running boards" so I don't have to worry about putting my feet down. They are weight bearing boards so I can stand on them. I weigh around 265.
