put a few miles on her last night ,never ridden one before and at first was a little shy with the throttle cos steering was all over the place (for shy read sh+tting bricks ) but soon got the hang of it and was wizzing up and down the sea front and the A12 rattling what few teeth I have left
but this morning all my body aches so will have to give it another hammering after work and carry on till the old bones get used to it
best fun I've had in a long time but next ones gonna be a soft tale

I've always run my trikes with just 15psi in the rear tyres. Any more & the ride gets skittery & bumpy. I much prefer hardtails.
Now you're roadworthy you can begin fine tuning it to suit your riding style & comfort needs. There'll always be something to fettle. No custom vehicle's ever truly finished! Have fun!

don`t be surprised if you need different pressures in the rear tyres just keep playing with pressures until you`re happy. Try starting with 15 psi all round and let a bit out here and there until you`re happy. Grin Grin Grin Grin

Good to hear that you got 'the beast' through the MOT. Shame it was too late to ride it today, there's always tomorrow and just think about this................
You have to wait so won't riding the trike be sooo much better for waiting.
Enjoy yerself but be safe.
