Default Maybe a tolerance check...

I'm just an old biker that's been riding fairly steadily since the early sixties. I've owned just about everything out there at one time or another, including a lot of dirt bikes I raced in farmer's fields motocross racing in the 60's. Over the years I've had several Harley's but at present am riding an '03 Victory TC and it serves us well. I spend a lot of summer vacations pulling a camper or trailer to various rallies and meets, mainly south ( from MN everything's south ) with wife, and am very near retirement and doing this full time.

I'm looking to own ONE MORE bike ( don't we always say that ) and that's going to be an HD trike. I've considered triking mine but want a reverse and it's already got lots of miles and want to start with something with less miles.

So there, a Victory rider who loves all rides and hope this board, tho specialized, is tolerant of another riders brand. We all come back sometime.

Welcome to the board, any and all who love motorcycling is welcome, some don't even own a bike.
This forum is one of if not the best on HD. on the home page there are many areas to go into. and the search feature will help you find many answers to most questions.
I also have ridden since 64 and have had several kinds of rides but now after retiring 3yrs ago, I got a new Heritage and the wife and I love to ride every day we can.

ride safe and enjoy the forum, from Indy

Welcome from Tn. I also did motocross racing in the late 60's and early 70's. I would like to have a trike also when I retire, but will trike my EG just before I retire.

Hope you find the right trike for you and the wife.
