Can you elaborate, please? What don't you like, wife wants me to trade mine in on a trike. More for trips across US.

 

Can't split lanes on a trike. Can't forget to put the jiffy stand down when you get off because there isn't one. Trike won't fall over on soft asphalt 10 minutes after you walk away from it. A trike won't roll on to it's side with y'all on it while making a slow speed turn and you have to hit the brakes. There is no struggle ever, trying to lift a trike off a non existent jiffy stand ............. There are no side saddlebags to ever detach from the trike at 70 mph. No jiffy stand spring to brake ............. So no need to carry an extra. A trike is less effected by side winds. And ........ A trike has a full two cubic feet more storage capacity over an Ultra Classic or Road Glide Ultra. Cages for whatever reason, don't crowd a trike the way they will a two wheel m c. Since mid May of this year I have ridden just under 17 k miles on three separate trips from TX to the Pacific coast, from Canada to the Mexican border. Never felt exhausted, never felt stressed. At 71, I could not have done it on two wheels and felt comfortable.

 

.......I bought my 09 tri in aug 09.....on the way home...I asked why did I buy this thing....for quite a while I thought I should be committed to a mental hospital for doing so........I took it on my annual ride in july of 2010.....after about ten thousand miles on it....I finally got home with it........I now have sixty four thousand on the odo.....I really like the trike now....the only mod is the lift kit on the back......have been to new York.....the extreme south of texas......last year went to Miami...and this year went to north Carolina.......it does very good..............and finally I still have to HD two wheelers to ride.......and am lucky I can afford these........don't think I will ever sell the tri.......and I am glad I never got rid of it.......I am now 71 y/o.....maybe a slow learner....but I would say....give it a little more time....might come together for you.....good luck....!!!

 

Well, that makes two of us now that have admitted to being 'ol farts ............
