Default Oh Crap! What have I done

Just kiddin!

But' it looks like I may be lurking here in the very near future, my local dealer is processing the paperwork as I type.

A shiny new 2017 Anniversary Blue/Black TG is being serviced.

So you 3 wheeled veterans have advise for knee drager type moving into the trike zone?

I think I am going to miss my RGCVO....

The wife said Blue, I said new. The result was a 115th.

The dealer couldn't support our request a month ago, didn't seem optimistic about getting one either. tried to sell me the red, low balled my trade in so I walked.

I get a call yesterday, "We got one in", I played hard to get, :-) rolled in today, told them my bottom line and left the building, about an hour later, the phone rings, "We got you what you wanted", :-)

I guess I am a Tri-Geezer now.

Congrats & welcome to the three world! Trikes are different but a blast in their own right.

Congratulations!

It will take a bit of getting used to...if you've ridden an ATV, it should be second nature. If not, spend some time in a big empty parking lot getting to know what it can do, and not do.

One thing you will notice, the front brakes cannot be used as much on the Tri-Glide as a 2 wheeler.

Sounds like you like the twisties, surprisingly, trail-braking is effective with the TG.

Once you are comfortable with it, you may be surprised how well they handle.

Congratulations. Wife doesn't let me go to the HD dealer alone. Although for the right color, she might be the weak one.

You'll miss your bike. I missed mine so much I bought another one to give the trike some company...
