Hello all, first off my name is Joe and the wife is Teresa (T for short). I just got Teresa (T) a 2006 VTX 1300C trike from Southern Powersports in Chattanooga, and she is giddy as a school girl over it. Here's a couple of pics of it:

We've been riding, together since we got married about 10 years ago and I've been riding since I was 5 years old, on the road since I was 12. I've got a Triumph Rocket III and I'm on the Darkside, here's a pic of mine:

We actually live in GA, but I work in Chattanooga at Eastman Construction and are so close to TN that is where we tell folks we are from, much easier than explaining where Ringgold, GA is. Keep an eye out for us, we are keeping the roads hot for now at least until the new wears off T's new trike. Keep the rubber side down and the knees in the breeze. I'll see if I can get T to post some in here.

Hi Joe and T.

Great pictures. I saw a YouTube vid of someone doing wheelies on a Rocket III. :shock: They don't call it rocket for nothing.

I visited Powersports for the first time last Friday. I was lucky to get out of there with just a helmet and some luggage. I had an almost uncontrollable urge to go in debt. I've never seen so many motorcycles. I just wish they served coffee :)

Glad you're here,

Greetings CADfather and Teresa, good looking trike....sort of brought back a very real dream I had a week or so back where I...and this is the truth...sent my 1800 off and had it made into a trike BUT also had the engine disabled and a three speed bicycle pedal arangement installed. I could not pedal out into traffic with out pedaling my butt off, clicking the handlebar 3 speed shifter and backing up traffic BUT COULD pedal 70 or 80 out on I-75 passing everything up and down any hill :shock: ....VERY strange but real lifelike dream. When I woke up I almost went into the garage to make sure it was not real! Anyway enough of that wierdness....hope to see you and Teresa (also my wife's name) around this summer. My wife Terri rides a red and cream 97 VLX and we try and make most nightfall concerts in Chattanooga....Your trike really stands out so we will be looking for Ya'll out and about. Again, welcome to the family, Bisley

They didn't offer that unfortunately, they just let me wonder around looking at the 1800c's and N's. Those are what nearly got me. :shock:
