Welcome to the Trike world. 3 wheels may have saved your bacon on this one. Bummer to get damaged before you even get it home. Watch your "6" at all times. Glad you're ok. Great info and people here.

Welcome from Calgary. Glad you are o.k. For us sitting in the snow waiting for spring, it doesn't hurt to be reminded of the hazards out there

I guessed he was on his cell, probably texting his b**ch. You should sue his A$$ for almost killing you. As Coupe said the tri glide saved you.

Welcome to a great forum (you probably alrealy have discovered that)! There are a great group of riders here and I place this forum in the same catagroy as the service manual. It is a "must have". You are indeed fortunate you were not injured and I trust the insurance company will make a full restitution of the expences necessary to make satisfactory repairs to your new ride. What color is it, and what options, accessories, have you put on it or are planing to put on it? Enjoy the forum and enjoy your Tri Glide!

I got the merlot/black version. Put on the rear bumper, mudflaps, black stick-on anti-scuff pads for the fenders, lighted spoiler, tour-pak luggage rack , crome front axle nut covers and last but not least rinehart slip-ons which Im not to sure about at the moment. Sounds kinda muffled. Not at all like my 07 RoadKing with Rush mufflers, SE air and pcIII. That bike was a lil to loud I guess....lol. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Maybe no law against it but I'd insist that it be included in the report. People yaking on the phone while driving **** me off.
