    I rode a Trike, for my first time.
    Always wanted to see what all the fuss is about, so Skunk and I rode
    over to New Boston, and to Dewights Biker's Dream.
    Dewight, has an 04 750 Shadow Trike.

    Blondie, of Blondies Bike Store, told us about the Trike.

    Bikers Dream is mainly a Harley and Indian Store. He does sell new
    Harleys.
    Yes, Dewight has several old and a few fairly new indians. He also
    collects Motorcycles, has several 50 year old Bikes around there.

    My wife thinks she wants a Trike.
    So, I checked it out, by showing Ins. Proof and Riders Lic., and they
    let me ride.

    I rode a good ways, from the store.
    Skunk said they were kinda wondering about me, being gone for maybe
    12-15 minutes. But, I wanted to get it up to atleast 75 mph, and, also
    check out the curves. The dern road was so straight there for a bout 3
    miles, it seemed. But I did ride thru a couple of curves. If you've
    never rode a trike, you need to. A Trike is kinda stiff, no leaning, ya
    know. I took the curves atleast 5-10 over the suggested speed, and it
    was an odd feeling.

    Skunk rode it just a short piece, and came back and said''Why would any
    one want a three wheel MortorSikel''.

    Anyway it was awright, but I'll need to take Honey today, over there,
    to see what she thinks.

    The price for the Shadow Trike is 14,000.
    Not bad if you just gota have a Trike, cause some of the Trikes at the
    store, were 32,000 and up.

    Dewight said, the conversion Kits run any where from 10,000 to 15,000.
    So add that to a bike that cost 10,000 to 20,000, and that is how is can
    be an expensive deal.
