Ok folks, I'm going to try to post to this thing at least once a week. The trike is working out well, I do have a few little issues but nothing major. Fun to ride is the main thing and keeping up with the big boys.
One thing I am puzzled by is the two wheelers attitude sometimes toward three wheel riders. Just because our bikes don't lean it doesn't qualify, actually overheard someone commenting that she would give up riding before she'd be caught dead on a trike. Wow, to give up the freedom of riding a motorcycle just because it has three wheels. Then there are those that consign them to car status. Hmm, bet most of them have never even tried a trike so it's kind of like saying chocolate is gross but never tasting it.
I just got some lovely new paint, roses and a wolf, I'll post some pictures soon.
I'll also post the important details of the trike soon, engine size, torque, range, all that important stuff.

Riding in the winter
Well, last weekend I rode close to 150 miles over two days, today I rode 100+ miles on a very chilly sunny day. We took off, used the freeway part of the way, did some two lane but discovered it was too cold and icy in the shade. So, stop for lunch and back to I-5. The trike is still so far beyond what I expected that I still marvel at all the little things. Tried out the cruise control briefly today since the trike is still in the break in period. That little feature is going to make long trips so much nicer when the throttle hand gets tired.
The radio picks up way more radio stations than my car and it is interesting on some stations to glance down and see the station name or the title of the song on the screen. The CB radio is clear and once it is set up is very easy to use. So, music, communications with my honey and the open road. Can't beat that.
