    I say go for it, as long as you take it REAL EASY you should be fine. any trike will be a challenge to learn to ride at first, just ride slow untill you get a feel for how it responds to you.

    welcome and be carefull! And offer them a smaller amount cash in hand, that normally works

    Dude now I'm drunk and I still say bad idea.................ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wtf grab a hand full of throttle and dump the clutch in a corner you will be fine. I kinda remember 17 and going slow wasn't part of it find something a little more mild for your first one.

    If you think thats got torque, you really need to ride a 350X...
    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    Well it didnt have traction until the front wheel was in the air and then it grabbed traction all of a sudden.

    Do yourself a favor, and widen the rear axle out.
    Use wheel spacers if you have too, and flip your rims around.

    Riding it wide, will help the learning curve. Actually, that was the only thing they did wrong with sport trikes.
    Everyone of them should have been 50 inches wide from the factory.
    Enjoy and be careful. Always respect it. They can get away from you real fast, the minute you let yor guard down.

    Oh yeah some pics would be nice!

    Yes we will require pics.

    And if you like your trike just say no when your buddy says "Hey I've always wanted to ride one of these can I take it for a blast?
