This weekend I’m heading to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, where I’ll be test riding some new trikes, including the new 2012 Gold Wing by Roadsmith. Honda changed its Gold Wing design for model year 2012, which means the handful of trike manufacturers who make Gold Wing trikes must change their conversions as well. Roadsmith is one of them. I’ll announce via the TRN Newsletter when my review of the new Roadsmith Gold Wing conversion goes live on TRN, so be sure to sign up as a subscriber.    

I’ll also be participating in the first-ever all-brands trike ride at the Sturgis Rally. Lehman Trikes is organizing the ride from its headquarters in neighboring Spearfish, S.D. I’ll be there covering all the action. Click here for more details.   

The TRN Ultimate Giveaway is still going through the end of November, so if you’ve not yet entered to win a custom set of trike wheels from Performance Machine, now is the time to do so. More details here. 

Be sure to visit our TRN Forum, the newest trike forum to hit the Internet. One of our moderators is a certified mechanic with a specialty in trikes. Be sure to post your questions so our moderator can answer them for you.
