Dave …. I really hadn’t thought about contacting a dealership. Thank you for the idea. I have never driven a trike, so I would be hesitant to rent one. Perhaps someone there has one though and would be willing to give up an afternoon. Hmmmm. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Apex is a very unusual dealership. The owner, Doyne Bruner, is often hanging out on the floor talking motorcycles. As I remember his wife runs the finance department. They give 10% off on OEM parts to AMA members. There's a break room where older riders often gather and tell riding stories. Employees stay there for years.
Doyne has his own private shop where he builds Trikes. I wandered in one day and saw a stack of Goldwing rear wheels, a byproduct of trike conversions. I saw a brand new one with the OEM tire, in black, to match my F6B. He sold it to me for $200, about the price of the tire alone.
I haven't been there for about 2 years, but doubt it has changed much. I really think it would be worth stopping by since you're so close.
