Default First ride wow

First ride today. I am very surprised. I never rode a harley trike but I had rode a goldwing trike for a weekend few years back. This harley is very nice. Steers so much better than I thought, feels much lighter on front than did the goldwing . The power is ok and the muffler sound needs some work but not vital at this point. Suspension was fine and that to was better than I thought. I went 50 miles in 32 degree weather and it was enough for today. Very nice machine the shifting was smooth. The infotainment needs some learning. I need more time with the manual on that thing.
Don't be afraid the 2014 is a awesome machine.

OUTSTANDING!!!! One of the few new riders that didn't come back from their first ride and bitch a blue streak about their trike. Another couple of weeks when the weather gets more agreeable you will see the REAL potential of that scoot. Get out there and see the sights, smell the roses, that is the perfect vehicle for it.

Glad to see that you were finally able to get out on it. Hopefully the weather is going into Spring and staying there. It's time to start putting some miles on our trikes. Enjoy.

Congrats on your new ride. M3 and I finished the work I was going to do last week-end and it is ready to go. You will learn to love it. I have had many problems with mine that I won't list as I don't want it to be considered bitching. I like my TG enough now that I wouldn't even consider getting rid of it. The MOCO has not made enough improvements to pry the money out of my pockets.

Great to here you got out on the road!! Nice hearing positive feed back on the trike too. Still waiting on mine. Dealer says not till May 20 now. So much for the end of April. Keep us posted.

I'm itching to get mine out of storage. Still to much road salt and fresh hot patch for me yet. It's too nice of a scoot to abuse it this early in the season.

Hap, Welcome to the brotherhood of the third wheel! You will find shortly that you have the most comfortable couch running down the interstate! My wife will not ride any of my 2 wheelers because she is so comfortable in the trike.
See you soon in the wind!
