Cancer in '08 took the feelings in wife's hands and feet, so her Deluxe went away for an '09 Tri-glide. She had no problems adapting. On the third day of ownership we rode from home to Las Vegas (300 miles) In '11 I had my second heart surgery. We bought her a new Tri and I inherited her old '09. I had a bunch of problems going to 3 wheels after over 50 years on 2. I'll never go back now. Ride it in good health.

 

.......................JB as you know I have had my 09 T/G for five years next month.....has 48 thou on the odometer...for something I did not like when I bough it....I really like it now .... just this year I determined that mine is a keeper to the end.........and yessssssssssss I still enjoy my 2 two wheelers..........

 

Well I did it and you all have some responsibility for the decision.
As the new owner of a 2014 Vivid Black Tri Glide, I would thank the members of the forum for the guidance which led me in the right direction.
Thanks again,

 

Double post.

 

The 07 ultra is going on the market in the next few weeks. I want to detail it, then the for sale sign gets hung on the bike. I will buy a 2014 or 2015 tri glide. The wife and I both have a few medical issues and are not ready to stop riding yet. Jim

 

Went and visited the dealer yesterday. 2014 is the way to go. I can get 2,500 off the normal price and today is looking at another color. Blue and black is what the wife wants. I am getting excited. Jim

 

Why let "Us" decide on what "You" are going to ride. I commend you for being smart enough to realize that you may no longer be able to handle a 2 wheeler and could potentially hurt yourself or someone else. I think whether you ride a 2 wheeler or 3 (except for that CanAm thing) you will always be viewed as a biker.

P.S. Nice choice and great looking bike...and yes I meant bike!

 

Hey Guys,

I had a 2006 Ultra that was just getting to heavy with me and the wife to handle. I slipped a couple of times on cinders and almost dropped her. I got the 11 trike last year and I have really not put that many miles on her. I really miss the two wheels so I went out and bought me a sport cruising bike. I love that bike to death, it don't have any room for the wife. This is for me to have fun on. The trike is ok I just find that the seating is shorter than my ultra was. I tried to put the road zeppelin seat on my trike and it was at least 3-4 inches longer than what the trike could accommodate. I just feel that I am sitting on the damn tank. It is nice to not have to put your feet down, but she is a dog for power. The trike can handle real well when it just myself on it. I have put her thru the corners to see if I could lift the rear wheel. So far so good. Mine is vivid black and lots of bling on it. I am putting a better clutch in it with a clutch wiz and lift kit. I put a tour pak relocator on it as well which helped a lot too. Overall the trike is well made and it is a lot of fun when I can run her hard.
