Just bought a '19 Tri-Glide!

I really hate to sell the SG. It's very special to me. But my knees are not as strong as they used to be and I'm not comfortable riding 2-up anymore. I figured it was time to trike. I'm also looking at some used bikes like 70s Triumphs and Nortons for banging around town.
After you become used to the trike it really isn't much of a problem around town.

Good on ya, mate. Mind if I ask what a Triglide costs in Oz these days? I paid about 40K for my new 2019.
I'm heading for Oz in March. It will be my 3rd trip down under. I'll be on the east coast though, Sydney and up to the Great Barrier Reef. Someday I'd like to see Perth.

The price is very scary.
In Aussie dollars it's $56,000.
If you want to whet your appetite for a visit to Oz, have a look through my Blog. Click on the link in my signature below. There are quite a few stories on our trips to Queensland.

I've wanted to see Australia most of my life, especially after serving in a mixed American Australian combat unit, found out what great guys Aussies can be. I've had invitations to visit, but never found the time. Now that I'm retired, have another problem; I can't sit in cramped coach class aircraft seats much over an hour before I get intense knee pain. I have a retired airline employee discount, but first class is seldom if ever available for that, and full price... kind of out of my budget. Still high on my bucket list, though.
Stephen, good blog. Wow, you've traveled a lot.

Allen will do a great job on the seat. Take it from me... get the 2 up handle bars and lift kit then do it yourself over the winter. Makes a huge difference. Let me know if you need a hand in tuning her. I talked Terry into doing the same... he loved the change.
