New Ride
I tried three wheel riding for a while but just couldn't enjoy it as much so yesterday I bought a 2015 Ultra Glide Limited. The dealer was having retail value trade ins so we were able to get what we originally paid for the 2009 Tri Glide plus it saved so much in taxes since you do not pay them for the value of your trade in that it seemed like a no brainer. It feels so good to lean again.

My wife is in a wheelchair and I felt it would be more stable to get her on and off of a trike. I never had an issue in the past with taking her on my old Goldwing but just wanted to be safer. As soon as I get a center stand on my Ultra Limited we will be good to go. She really enjoys leaning again also and did not like the trike either. I actually feel the trike was more unsafe since it pulls you to the side when taking turns and she cannot use her legs to help hold herself on. Maybe when I'm too old to hold up a bike I will try it again but that will be far far down the road.

You got your bike from the same place,
that I got my bike from. I do hope you,
and your beloved wife have as many smiles
as miles on the new bike. now get on with
getting a center stand, for your beloved.
