Rode my 06 Ultra to the dealer, and rode home a new Tri-Glide. Best thing I ever did to the Ultra. Just came back from 2000 miles of Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico, and love the ride, and convience of the TG. Wife took almost everything she owns, we still had room to bring some junk home for the grandkids.

I do miss riding on two wheels, but so far the Trike has been great. The Wife even likes riding on it so that means we can take it more places and leave the car and truck at home. The only thing I have found so far is that when you are riding you forget you are on three wheels and need to watch you don't take the rear fender off when you try and go thru some tight places you use to go thru with the two wheeler, come close a few times.
Enjoy the new RIDE we are.

If you can swing the deal without trading the Elect Glide, keep it.
I agree that the TG is an excellent long haul road machine but I also enjoy taking a short run into town, buy something slightly larger than a bread box and not have to worry about how I’m going to get it home!

Add GREAT utility vehicle to the TG’s list attributes!

Stay Safe Out There!!!!
