Right now the trike will start right up if you give it a bit of throttle. I think I will leave it that way,this is all a new experience for my wife as she is used to riding on the back of my bike so the learning process will be with a totally clean slate .

Due to a knee replacement and spine surgery on both the upper and lower back, she can no longer lift her leg high enough to get on the bike. I have been ridding since I was a very young fellow and during the forty years we have been together ,my wife has been my riding partner. This trike is a perfect solution for us to keep going together.

I can relate,, I get on my motorcycles like a horse now,,, I stand on the peg stand up then swing the leg over,,, I got tired of replacing opposite side rear turn signals,,, i have half a dozen or so of them with broken stalks but theyre perfectly fine except the stalk,,,

Sounds cool. I have one of the Honda Shadows now that sits lower than a low rider, so far I can get on and off without killing myself. Oh yea, no broken turn signals ........yet.

I been getting on mine like its a horse too. Don't like the ride and handling of low bikes. Finally got rid of a majesty 400, almost flat gave it away. Got back hurting and the rear suspension on it was damn near as bad as one of them harleys with no rear springs! Now I got some where around 9 inchs of soft soft ride./

I'm afraid in my case it's both. However it was worth every minute and that's all I'm gonna say bout that.

I have a mono shock in my bike and many years ago I had fractured my tail bone, so I had a custom seat made to help with that. So far ,so good,I think, I just may have lost all feeling there.

Hey, Ed in NH. Is this trike still running? LOL, because after 8yrs, my IB 300 is messing up hard. lot's of little failures.
so, I'm thinking if yours is still on the road, and mine is sort of. we can trade tips. Hey, when they're good, they're good. but when they get hard to shift into reverse, or won't idle, overheat, clunk over small potholes. I find I need to make repairs.
Anyways. your post is old, and I figure you gave up on it. they do seem to be disposable! LOL
