How to Ride a Trike
#11
I traded my Ultra for a Tri-Glide about 2 yrs ago. I hated the TG at first but medical reasons were at the basis for the change soooo....The first thing I noticed was the arm effort in maneuvering the beast. In fact I've always named my Ultra's, Jolene, a sexy lady sang about by Dolly years back. I was so disgusted with the change in handling I named the TG "Waddles", as a reference to an obese clumsy oaf! After a few hundred miles I began to ease up on Waddles and realize what I was doing at the controls. Eventually we made up and now I'm not as in love with the TG but realize the only other options are either a Spyder by Can-Am or a convertible. I guess I'll keep her for now.
