Default Reverse tripped after delivery

Just realized my reverse is not operating. Found the breaker tripped. I never tried reverse. I think it happened when they delivered whedn they tried to pull it off of the trailer. Need to try more often and see if it is working ok or a weak breaker, etc. Also noticed the Trike pulled to the right when hitting the rear brake. Only noticed one time. I need to put some miles on the Trike. Just got done with the motorcycle safety training. After 35 years of not riding it took the second day of training for me to get comfortable on the 150 cc motorcycle. Felt good after I got familiar with the controls. It seems like I have people coming over , people calling or appointments with doctors or other stuff comes ujp every time I want to take the trike for a ride. Going to tell my wife Im going for a ride by myself. Will be out of touch for the entire day. Need time on the Trike to get out the cow webs off my bones and wear in the Trike.

my 14 has only had one issue so far, that being a small leak on the thermostat, dealer replaced it and added some silicone around the joint on it, so far so good. still learning how to operate infotainment system.

well I just pulled the trigger on a 2014 Tri Glide. I've been riding a 2006 Street Glide and absolutely loved it. Wife is not able to ride her own anymore so if I want to take her along it was either have her in the cage or get a trike. I opted for the trike. Will take delivery next week on a big blue pearl and vivid black 2014. Anything I absolutely need to know?

Sarge welcome to the Trike forum. There is a wealth of information on here. It is different than riding 2 wheels, but give it time and you will learn to really enjoy the trike (especially when caught in traffic).

Sarge, the only trunk guard I have seen is H-D's, its a good strong one. Kuryakyn is making a lot of trike goodies . be sure to check the vender directory. good luck

just traded our 13 for the new 14, took a test ride and both my wife and myself were real pleased with it. we'll pick it up next time in off the truck and most the snow and ice should be gone. give the dealer plenty of time to swap all my goodies over too. looking forward to a fun summer.

Congrats on your new ride! I think you will be happy you traded up. Don't forget to post some pics in the regular TriGlide forum when you get it.
