Thank you for allowing me to this site. I am a 3 time Harley owner with my most resent bike being a 2011 Tri Glide. I am a disabled Veteran, retired Air Force, Desert Storm Vet. I have owned motorcycles my whole life but only started to ride and own Harleys in 2009 with my first bike as a 2009 Nightster. I fell in love with the bike but found out fast it was not designed to ride long distance so I traded it in on a 2012 Street Glide which I rode for 5 years and modified heavily. Unfortunately with my disability it was getting hard to hold the bike up with my legs so I had to trade it in on my Tri Glide. I have only had this bike for 1 week but the ride is so smooth and easier on my back.
Again thank you Randy.
