I can pass on some hear say... I was bs'n with a guy at a rally a few years back and he was ridding a trike, He said the bike was great as long as you don't go into a turn too hot, do your braking before the turn and then motor through it. I asked him about leaning and he laughed, he said it made no difference if he tried to lean his body the bike is more like a car in that instance turn harder. He said be careful of under-steer on gravel and don't gas it cause it won't turn like you want. I asked him about wheelies and flippin over and he though I was a nut, he asked me if I can pop a wheelie on my roadking and I said no, and he said same. As for stopping he told me he always gives himself a little extra compared to the 2 wheeler.
I hope it helps, still looking forward to seeing a pic of that ride of yours.
You can have it cheap. You can have it fast. You can have high quality. PICK ANY 2....

i have rode one. I thouht turning was alot harder on a trike it more in your shoulders than leaning. I notice brakeing was alittle different but for all i like the trikes. what kind do you have? the one i rode was a ultra harley turned into a trike it was a o7. to me it seem to be real stable going around corners i was scared about one tire coming up but that never happen. I hope you enjoy your trike and keep riding

Thanks guys for the input. Mine is a new 011 Trigilde. I would think that the new ones would have advanced in their technology from the past. This is the first trike I have ever road. I've had it for a month now and have 1500 miles on it. Already been in for it's first check up! I love it! Just really glade to be riding again. I am still learning what I can and can't do in the turns. Don't want to find out the hard way. The only thing I have noticed so far is if I am execlerating out of a turn to hard, the front end seems to wheel hop alittle. I don't feel out of control at all. Just feels funny. Like I say- NOT going to find out the hard way. I will try to get pics on here soon. I am alittle behind in my techy knowledge. I still am looking for an experienced trike rider to talk with. Thanks guys
