The suspension adequately absorbs all the little bumps you encounter but you probably wouldn’t have noticed even if it hadn’t you were just too busy waving at everyone that you encountered while on your test ride. Once you are through the curve, you twist the throttle again and the TriRad is quickly once again climbing past 30 mph! You slow down and shift your body weight into the curve. You steer it more like a car as opposed to leaning like a bicycle when cornering. There is a small learning curve when riding a motorized trike for the first time. The engine was fully rebuilt with mild modifications made to accommodate the heavier bike but without any added noise levels or the diminishing of reliability. It climbs hills with ease and keeps up with traffic on the city streets. The TriRad is very smooth and much more powerful than the old moped you had as a kid. As you quickly get up to around 15 mph, you hear the engine effortlessly shift into 2nd gear and now the adrenaline starts flowing! This is so much fun and not what you were imagining the ride to be like. The moped comes to life and you are off into the wind leaving the world behind. Okay, you didn’t come to just sit on it with a big grin making imaginary motor sounds under your breath you came to ride it! You release the parking brake and give the trike a couple of cranks with the pedals and pull in the starter clutch. The original blinker system that was offered as an option in 1978 has been fully rebuilt as well and you move the directional switch back and forth testing out the blinkers as kind of a pre-ride safety inspection. The windshield can be removed in a matter of seconds but you have already decided to leave it always attached. Everything is tight and fully functional. When you sit on it for the first time, your eyes examine the components and controls that are polished to a mirror-like finish.
