The ultimate touring machine
By Genevieve Schmitt, Editor; Photos by Pam Proctor
11/8/2011:
There’s a reason the Honda Gold Wing is called the Cadillac of motorcycles—the ride is that smooth and comfortable. Having had lots of seat time on a two-wheeled Gold Wing, I was really looking forward to my test ride on Roadsmith’s HT1800, its Gold Wing trike conversion, knowing that the third wheel could make for the ultimate in comfort touring. I was not disappointed.

One of the most comfortable touring vehicles
By Genevieve Schmitt, Photos by Rene Bruce
8/2/2011:
I’ve become quite the fan of the Can-Am Spyder since it was introduced in 2008. I applaud a company that designs a product that resonates with people so much that they buy into the whole lifestyle. And with baby boomers making up the largest segment of the population, the future for this new class of vehicle looks bright.

TRIKE REVIEW: Motor Trike Adventure
GL1800 Gold Wing conversion
By Steve Lita, Photos by Bob Feather
6/27/2011:
Last year, I planned an adventure for my inbound trip to Daytona Bike Week. I didn’t want to start in the frigid temps of New England, and I didn’t have enough time in my schedule for a complete cross-country journey from one of the motorcycle manufacturer’s home bases on the West Coast. A start point halfway across the country would do just fine.

Ever have the feeling you’re headed for a bad blind date? As I eyed the trike sitting in front of me, I did. I stood face-to-face with the new Lehman Storm, billed as an entry-level, easy-to-operate, Kawasaki-Vulcan-900-based trike for those with limited motorcycle experience and/or no trike experience.

TRIKE REVIEW: Harley-Davidson Street Glide Trike
A no-nonsense three-wheeler
By Genevieve Schmitt, Editor
11/14/2010:
I’m probably one of the best journalists to review Harley-Davidson’s FLHXXX Street Glide Trike because I own a two-wheeled Street Glide—and I’ve test ridden other trikes before for comparison. Harley-Davidson introduced the Street Glide Trike in 2010 to give riders an alternative to the Tri Glide, the Motor Company’s large touring trike that's based on the Ultra Classic model.

TRIKE REVIEW: 2010 Can-Am Spyder RS-S
Semi-automatic transmission sets it apart
By Genevieve Schmitt, Photos by Rene Bruce
8/3/2010:
I finally got my opportunity to ride this infamous three-wheeler that has onlookers everywhere doing a doubletake. Trike Riders Now reviewed BRP's Can-Am Spyder roadster in 2007 when the unusual three-wheeler first hit the market. TRN contributor Perri Capell test rode the Spyder then. Now, two model years later with improved handling and more options, I'm getting my chance to feel firsthand what all the fuss is about.

TRIKE REVIEW: 2010 Lehman Trikes CrossBow
Is this three-wheeled Victory Vision on target?
By Genevieve Schmitt, Editor
12/17/2009:
Talk about an attention-getter! The unique design of the CrossBow trike coupled with its sheer size was enough to stop everyone in their tracks during my short test ride. On my two hours with Lehman Trikes' new three-wheeler, I was asked more questions by strangers than during any other test ride I've done. The most common question was, "What is that?"
