just a triker

just checking to find out how many trikers are out there. We just (10 months ago) bought a goldwing trike conversion by Champion and love it. It is great for touring and especially in tourist area's with all the stop & go it's great. Love to hear comments and we are in south west florida area and can ride almost all year.:dance:

Florida is great for riding year round. We are lucky.

We also have a place in Okeechobee for a weekend get away and we have run into a lot of great people biking it in that area.

Not a trike rider myself, but I got a couple brothers who have, for various reasons, become unable to ride two wheels, so I am looking for ways to get them back in the wind. At Myrtle Beach fall rally, I saw quite a few of the HD trikes, and must say, I liked the looks of them ;)

I can still ride two wheels but we 0.do a lot of camping and take our trike in the camper(toy Box) and most these places have lots of traffic and the stop & go wears us out now that we are in our mid sixties. It keeps us up with the crowd and it is a lot of fun.you are going to see more & more somewhat handi capped and older riders going to Trikes.
There are a lot of different conversions out there. .I have always preferred Goldwing but there are a lot of nice Harley kits. Tell you friends to look at them.

I just got back from a week in the Ft. Walton Beach area. I don't know about where you guys are, but people drive like maniacs there, and they're not gray heads lol! I'd be leary of riding a bike, let alone, not wearing a helmet lol!

It does seem like we have a lot of crazy's :puke: on the road here in Florida. I think it's that we have a lot of tourist and they are trying to figure out where they are going and tie up traffic , then you have the locals that don't have patience and they over react and on & on. :grenade: Just have to be on guard .

I left Florida about 3 months ago for the Foothills of The Smokies in Maryville, TN.

It is great up here.. literally minutes to the Mtns. and the National Parks.. The Dragon, which I personally try to stay away from, is just down the road.

I thought I would see more bikes in FL than here in East TN but I have to tell you, there is an unbelievable amount of M/C Traffic and I think I have seen more Trikes in the last 3 months than in my entire life.

I have my old 1200 Wing and the New 650 V-Star we got for my G/F but now she is wanting a Trike.

She saw the California Side Car Trike I mentioned in another post and fell in love with it, I was almost jealous... LOL.. but they were sharp.. saw 4 of them in Cherokee and all were 1800 Wings in Black Cherry..

So if anyone is coming up this way and wants a riding partner for a day or so... let me know..

That includes you Smeg... But no Dragon unless it is a weekday.. LOL

does seem like we have a lot of folks moving to Ga, tn,from Florida lately. We went to Dollywood a couple years ago and it was beautiful all through that area. I can understand that but I dislike cold weather. but now we have another hurricane coming in on us. Guess I better buy some cold weather gear and we have thought about moving .:moped:
