Just joined the group today. Old guy - Been riding motorcycles for close to 60 years and it time for me to go to 3 wheels. Bought a Vetter Terraplane on Jan 31,2015, and am preparing for my new adventure. Thanks for allowing me aboard.
 
Welcome, and please take the time to learn how the bike, or rather, trike will negotiate turns. It's very, very different, especially taking turns at any speed.
 
Wow 60 years riding behind the bars.Welcome here,kinda of a like minded group but friendly with some kidding going on.
 
No kidding whatever, it's actually forbidden if you read the terms of the forum.... :tomato

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on your new Terraplane. I only have 25 years under my belt!
 
We have terms to live by AV?Golly Gee Wiz Batman...never heard of such a thing.
42 years Larry..good for you.
 
Started out my years at age 16, on a '42 H-D Army surplus bike, then a BSA Gold Star kept it for years, then it was a KZ400, followed by KZ1000ST, a BMW R100RS, a Honda GL1100A, a Honda Ascot, a Suzuki Madura, a Kawasaki Voyager 1300, then finally a KZ1000P and a Vulcan 750. Health reasons are forcing me off two wheels, but I still intend to keep riding on three. The Terraplane has some cosmetic issues, so I'm taking it down to the frame for the restoration. I'm considering a hook up to the .KZP, but then I may try to find a decent GL1100A, like I had in 1983, and go that route. Then there is the possibility of a naked Gold Wing and go Vetter, all the way. Whatever, it should be a Great Adventure. I'm going to need a lot of help and it appears I have found the right place. Again, many thanks for having me on board. Looking forward to exchanging ideas & info.

Hey Tim - Welcome aboard, Great Place & Great Bunch of People. Had some health issues of late, so am still in the middle of the teardown/restoration of my Terraplane. Great that you got the wing & the plane in the same package. Pictures would be nice!
