Introduction

Hi, I am Bruce. I like this new sport of "Trikking" and it is fun to meet new people intersted in learning how to ride Carving Vehicles - whether for fun or exercise - or both!

What is your past experience with Trikke Carving Vehicles? Do you own your own Carving Vehicle? How long have you been riding?

I saw the infomercial late one night while working in the summer of 2008, and decided to give it a try. My First Carving Vehicle was a T78cs.. Since then I became a trainer and now have 6 carving vehicles..

Where are you located? (Please also click the little Account link at the top right, and set your location in your profile so it shows the correct City, State - instead of Portage, MI which it puts in by default)

I am in Portage Michigan (49002), but we have members from all over the state (and a couple out of state members with ties to Michigan) - we are open to doing group rides and events all over Michigan...

Are you a certified trainer and/or dealer for Trikke? If so, provide your website and contact info if you like.

Yes, I am a Certified Trainer since Spring of 2009 after attending the Chicago Academy

What got you interested in Trikke? (The infomercial, seeing someone riding one somewhere, etc?)

The infomercial - Summer of 2008, and then do some research of them online - reading through posts on www.trikketalk.com, etc.

How did you find out about the Michigan Carvers Group?

I decided to create the group early in 2010...

What MichiganTrikker is saying about this Meetup Group

Join because it is fun and a great full body workout, and I let people try out my mini-fleet of carving vehicles at no charge...(you do not have to own your own Trikke to join up)... Try something new - like skiing on pavement... If you find that it is just not for you, no worries, you can always un-join the group... So Sign up and give it a try! Bruce

  • Hi, I plan on attending the picnic next week. I haven't been riding as much but sure love it when I do. I might show up at the Blueberry Festival.

  • Hi Bruce. I was eyeing the T78 Convertible on the website, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore. At least, not on the Trikke website.

  • Thanks I will send Gary an email.

  • Thank you for the greeting and I hope to trikke with the group soon

  • Thanks, Bruce. I'm sorry to hear about your collar bone....that is a bummer, for sure. I hope you're not in any pain. Sounds like you've got a plan to join the group--that's good. Well, I'm going to call to see if I can get in with the Trikke rate for June 2. That will make life much easier! I will let you know what the final plan is. Thanks again, and I'm happy to be a part of your group. (I lived in Michigan for many years! Niles, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti). More later!

  • Hello, Bruce, I'm sorry I missed meeting you all. I found out at 10:40 AM that my granddaughters were available for the day (& in need of some supervision while their parents painted their house) so I was driving to their house at 11:00 AM -- & didn't know how to notify you that I wouldn't be there. I'll watch for other meetups & will do a bit more research on the Trikkes in the meantime. Take care & enjoy :-)

  • I will look at the Trikke or Manual today to see if I can find what Year the Trikke is. If you know a quicker way please let me know. Once I have that info I will post a quick message about it. If you know anyone interested that would be great! Gianna and I rode for 2 hours last night on our Trikkes in the park. It was great being on them again. The next 5 days are going to be rain and cold, so there goes our fun! I hope your weather in Florida will be much better.

  • Hello Bruce. I sign up to this site. Is it appropriate to advertise the T12 Roadster for sale on this site? I would not want to do it without an OK. It is the T12 Roadster, Black. Only use a few times. Like new. Comes with DVD, manual and tools. I paid Michelle in Homer $400 for it. I would like $400 for it. It really is like brand new. She rode it a few times and I tried to ride it once...hahahaha. Did not get anywhere as you know! Thanks. Hope you got to FL ok.

  • Hi, I keep on pumping up the tires. I'm not sure if I have the handles bars just right. Think it's just takes lots of practice. If the weather is nice, I will attend next Saturday. Thanks,

  • Hi Bruce, I got a refurbished T 8 Sport. I really like it and kind of getting the hang of it. We were at a parking lot tonight. My husband and I find going "up" the slightest grade to be very challenging and end up rolling it to the other side of the parking lot. My husband thinks there is something wrong with it. Probably just need lots of practice. Hope to join in on one the outings soon.
