So ...
Lynn had to work yesterday afternoon and evening.
So I ask her if I could steal her trike for the day to ride to work.
She says "Ya sure".
Have you ever noticed that so many people stare at you while you ride by on your trike ?
Is it that they don't see many and they stare in awe ?
I lost count on how many times it happen on my 80 mile round trip to work and back.
Now here is the FIRST that I mentioned in the post topic.
Here I am leaving work and about 5 miles out I have to go through
two rotary's in a row within 600 feet. So as you can imagine there
is a good size backup all the time expecially during afternoon commuting
time. As I am waiting inline between the 2 rotary's I am in the right lane
(there are 2 lanes each way). Got the music rocking as usual and I happen
to look to my left at the car in the next lane as we are VERY slowly moving
along. I see 4 young kids (about 20 to 25 years old) in the car with a
boy driving with I assume his girl in the passenger seat and the same in
the back seat (boy & girl). They roll down the windows and give me the
thumbs up and yelling how kewl the trike is. Then all of a sudden the girl
in the front seat yells over ... " Hey can I take your picture "
I started to laugh and said sure and gave them the THUMBS UP as she
took the picture with her cell phone. Not long after that I was at a
light stopped listening to a Tom Petty song and a bike messenger pulled
up along side and was be-bopping to the tunes and he turns and says
how he should be on a trike doing the same .... LOL ....
Needless to say I felt like a Hollywood celebrity the whole ride

My wife and I have both noticed we get quite a few looks when out on the Triglide from young and old.

 

My TG has cleaned out a few restaurants and get many compliments at red lights.

 

Mine draws lots of attention and a lot of my friends my age expressed an interest in buying one. To bad I had to tell them about the hot underpowered oven I initially bought, probably cost Harley a few sales!

 

I know how it feels.... now when Im parked with other riders who look at the trike when they see my 117 on the air cleaner cover they have to come ask me if I really have a 117" engine

 

Same here, on my trip through VA and the Carolinas. Got many thumbs up and a couple pictures. They usually ask "how's the ride?" and I say "great!" I just hate to say it's like riding an under-powered toaster oven, lol!

 

We get alot of looks when we ride and I haven't figured out yet whether they are looking at the TG, me, or my wife. If I hae to hazard a quess it would be ME.

 

And I guess she doesn't read these forums .... LOL ...
Rob ....

 

Your correct. She doesn't read these forums. I am home free.

 

Maybe yes, maybe no!!!
